is it okay to eat this fiber supplements? what happens when i eat too much fiber?? will i die!!?

what are the results of eating fiber??

Well I think that its better if you get fiber from natural sources. The reason why people need fiber is that it helps the G.I track (your digestive system) so it reduces your chances of certain types of cancer, and helps you eliminate toxins faster. If you just take supplements you will be throwing this into your bloodstream, and may just be eliminated so i dont think supplements are that great, and if you get it from natural sources you will also obtain more nutrients, oh and you wont die =]

You will be going #2 alot if you take too much. If you take the recomended dose you will be fine.

Did you get the free fiber sample from http://www.sampleaday.com ?

It can give you moral strength and fortitude. If you don't need it , bin it!
