The high-fiber breads that are becoming so popular these days contain powdered cellulose, a cheap byproduct of the paper industry. Even nonhygienic minded "health" writers warn against consuming artificial fiber.
The paper mills are selling this powdered cellulose to food processors as a "bulking agent" for cookies, cakes, pastas and breakfast cereals, as well as for bread. The human body wasn't designed to digest this waste product of the paper industry. Your best bet is still to stay away from products which contain "bulking agents," sugar or honey, salt, preservatives, colorings and wheat.
