Fiber feeds your gut bacteria, making your gut health better, making your overall health better. It helps to regulate and slightly inhibit absorption of carbs ensuring a longer lasting feeling of fullness. In nature, carbs and fiber always come packaged together in commensurate amounts... for example potatoes have about 20% carbs and a skin (the fiber) that is thin enough to be edible while sugar cane has so much carbs (about 70%) that the included fiber makes it like a stick.
