Dietary fiber is a topic that has burgeoned from an esoteric
interest of a few research laboratories to a subject of
international interest. This growth has been helped by the intense
public interest in the potential benefits of adding fiber to the
diet. The general popularity of fiber may have been helped by the
perception that, for once, medicine was saying "do" instead of
"don't. " There has been a proliferation of excellent scientific
books on dietary fiber. Why another? The Spring Symposium on
Dietary Fiber in Health and Disease was an outgrowth of our belief
that informal discussion among peers-a discussion in which fact is
freely interlaced with speculation-was the most effective way to
organize our knowledge and direct our thinking. The normal growth
progression of a discipline inc1udes its branching into many areas.
Soon the expertise, which was once general, is broken into many
specialties. Intercommunication becoIlles increasingly difficult.
It was our intent to provide a forum that would expose its
participants to developments in areas related to their research
interest. Free exchange under these conditions could not help but
broaden everyone's knowl edge and expand his horizons. We feel that
this symposium was singularly successful in achieving its goals. It
resulted in a free and friendly exchange of knowledge and ideas. It
helped to establish seeds for future collaborations based on mutual
interest and friendship. The proceedings of this conference will
serve as yet another basic resource in the fiber field."
