When I first edited a book on dietary fiber,Fiber in Human Nutrition, in the mid-1970s, I was happy to find at least a few good investigatorswho could contribute chapters to it. It would have been impossible to find a large number ofscientists that could have made a major contribution to that early book.However, as work was beginning on this Handbook in 1982 and I was presenting the designat the Symposium on Fiber in Human and Animal Nutrition in New Zealand that year, not onlywas I able to find all the 50-plus authors I needed, but I had the sad task of omitting someoutstanding names.Interest in what used to be the disregarded Cinderella nutrient of the early 20th century hasgrown at a rate greater than almost any other nutrient. The plant cell wall and the gums andmucilages had found their well-deserved niche in nutrition and medicine.
