  abstract = {{D}ietary fiber is a complex nutritional concept whose definition and method of analysis has evolved over time. {H}owever, literature on the role of dietary fiber on mineral bioavailability has not followed pace. {A}lthough in vitro studies revealed mineral binding properties, both animal and human studies failed to show negative effects on mineral absorption, and even in some cases reported absorption enhancing properties. {T}he existing literature suggests that dietary fibers have negative effects on mineral absorption in the gastrointestinal tract largely due to mineral binding or physical entrapment. {H}owever, colonic fermentation of dietary fibers may offset this negative effect by liberating bound minerals and promoting colonic absorption. {H}owever, existing studies are limited since they did not control for more potent mineral absorption inhibitors such as phytates and polyphenols. {A}nimal studies have mostly been on rats and hence difficult to extrapolate to humans. {H}uman studies have been mostly on healthy young men, who likely to have an adequate store of iron. {T}he use of different types and amounts of fibers (isolated/added) with varying physiological and physicochemical properties makes it difficult to compare results. {F}uture studies can make use of the opportunities offered by enzyme technologies to decipher the role of dietary fibers in mineral bioavailability.},
