soluble dietary fibers do indeed delay nutrient absorption however the intestine adjusts for the delayed nutrient absorption and will actually uh slow well the inhibited nutrient absorption and it will slow down the transit through the small intestin in tract or through the small intestine in a process called an ilal break and that will increase the absorption of the components inside the intestine so the intes you will absorb the carbohydrates because the intestine is compensating for altered absorption from the soluble dietary fiber and the soluble fiber is delaying the absorption by adjusting the viscosity like how thick the food is when it's moving through the intestine so it makes it a little bit harder to access but the intestine is like all right we know this fiber is making a little bit harder to access we're going to spend a little bit more time processing the food so that we can get all of the nutrient
