In addition, projections regarding the potential contribution of Added Fiber to daily Total Fiber intake at anticipated patterns of food consumption would be informative. , fatty acids) has been incorporated into food tables.

Since most oligosaccharides are not recovered by ethanol precipitation, it may be necessary to recover them from the ethanol soluble fraction on the basis of molecular weight by chromatography or dialysis. Current fiber analysis methods recover animal polysaccharides as dietary fiber. Thus, for those foods containing any animal carbohydrates, methods for their analysis are needed so they can be subtracted from the Dietary Fiber value. A general method applicable to all animal carbohydrates that would distinguish them from plant carbohydrates is difficult to envision.
IMPACT ON RECOMMENDED LEVELS OF INTAKE It is not anticipated that these definitions would significantly impact recommended levels of intake. However, information on both Dietary Fiber and Added Fiber would more clearly delineate the source of fiber and the potential health benefits. Although these two categories of fiber would be listed separately, the Total Fiber recommendation would reflect the sum of the two. The rationale for summing the two is that naturally occurring Dietary Fiber has known, although difficult to delineate, health benefits, and substances presented as Added Fiber could not be included on the label without a demonstrated beneficial physiological effect.
