All About Dietary Fiber is an article written to answer many questions regarding dietary fiber.

http://ianrpubs.unl.edu/foods/nf62.htm
Dietary Fiber includes topics: defining fiber and its role; fiber ground rules; howe much should you eat; fiber content in selected foods.

http://www.md-phc.com/fiber/indexfib.html
Dietary Fiber Index is a Unicity commercial site with considerable information on dietary fiber.

http://www.iom.edu/?id=4340&redirect=0
Dietary Reference Intakes for Energy, Carbohydrate, Fiber, Fat, Fatty acids, Cholesterol, Protein, and Amino Acids. is a report from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies.

http://www.fiberone.com/
FiberSeekers has various sources of fiber compared to the product fiberone.

http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/fiber.html
Harvard School of Public Health has information on fiber.

http://www.jrsusa.com/
JRS J. Rettenmaler USA has information fibers to use for decreased net carbohydrates. Include wheat, oat, apple, orange, tomato, bamboo, cottonseed, lupine protein and cellulose. Has information and product applications.

http://www.nutritiouslygourmet.com/
Nutritiously Gourmet presents menus that are balanced in terms of nutrition and health. Optimal dietary balance suggests that total daily calories be distributed accordingly: 20% from fat, 10% from protein and the rest, 70%, from carbohydrates, primarily starches. Although this differs from prevalent American eating patterns, it is based on sound nutrition research and the latest information with regard to the prevention of chronic diseases, particularly coronary heart disease, many cancers, osteoporosis and obesity. Necessarily, menus emphasize plant foods over animal foods, maximizing nutrients and fibers and leaving you well fed and satisfied.
