Gums and pectin primarily influence absorption in the stomach and small bowel. By binding with bile acids, they decrease fat absorption and lower cholesterol levels. They delay stomach-emptying by coating the lining of the gut, and by so doing they slow sugar absorption after a meal, which is helpful to diabetics since it reduces the amount of insulin needed at any one time.

Lignin This type of fiber is found in breakfast cereals, bran, older vegetables (when vegetables age, their lignin content rises, and they become less digestible), eggplant, green beans, strawberries, pears, and radishes.
