Question:

Am I over-dosing on fiber?

I'm eating these delicious oat chocolate bars that claim to have 35% the daily value of fiberI'm downing like 3 of these things per day, at 35% a pop, that's 105%! Am I over-dosing on fiber? What happens if I am? I should probably slow down on these bars, but they're so good!

Answer:

That's good temperature and timing.
Adding the fiber from other foods you eat you are most likely getting 125 to 150 grams of fiberI am a fiber freak when it comes to overall health but too much can cause problems, mostly diarrheaThere is nominal evidence that a very high fiber diet can reduce the absorption of vitamins and other nutrients in the digestive system but nothing conclusiveIt is most likely your bowels will help you find the happy medium35 grams per day is recommended as minimum by every dietary and medical organization50 is considered adequate.
