This review focuses on intervention trials with three primary aims: (1) understanding the mechanisms by which fiber intake improves health; (2) evaluation of qualitative factors that modify the effectiveness of fiber; and (3) identification of areas in which additional research is needed.

Am J Clin Nutr. 2013;98: 872-84. This systematic review and meta-analysis found that consumption of whole-grain foods as compared with non-whole-grain foods had no effect on body weight but seemed to have a small beneficial effect on the percentage of body fat.
