Amadeus, this is a perfect example of your replies that I find a little hard
to respond to. I make a simple statment bran is insoluble fiber, rather than
soluble. You seem to take it as a challenge to 'goodness' of bran, go on
defending it. Then change the topic to how meat is worse. All without addressing
whether bran is soluble or not, which is what I wrote about (which was a specific
response to a specific statement made by you). Please don't make it as a flame -
it isn't. Your persistence made me more careful about how I respond to you. But
it is hard having a consistent argument when most of your responses follow this
same pattern.
