Is Dietary Fiber the combined total of soluble and insoluble fiber? I tried a fiber supplement yesterday that was listed as 3g of soluble fiber and 3g of dietary fiber. I know the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber but what is dietary fiber or is it the same? :huh:

    It's the same. It's like when fat is listed as

    Fat 3 g
    Monounsaturated fat 1g

    It just means there's a total of 3g and one is from monounsaturated.

    You got a total of 3 g of fiber, and all 3 were soluble.
