all of the following are health benefits associated with intake of insoluble fiber except ___.
helps with weight management
reduces risk of constipation and hemorrhoids
lowers risk of colon cancer
speeds transit time through intestines
slows glucose absorption

Explanation:

Insoluble fiber speeds transit time through intestines (helps with constipation), reduces risk of hemorrhoids, lowers risk of colon cancer (by reducing exposure of colon cells to harmful substances as it speeds up transit), and can aid in weight management (adds bulk and makes you feel full). Soluble fiber is the type that slows glucose absorption (forms a viscous gel in the gut which slows down digestion and absorption of glucose).

Answer:

slows glucose absorption
