Well I drink anywhere from 8-12 cups of water a day normally, so I don't think I'm dehydrated. What has me confused is this:
Heather says that soluble fiber absorbs the excess liquid and turns it into a gel. My question is, if I already drink that much water, should I be drinking more? And wouldn't that defeat the purpose? Or is the amount I drink already enough for the soluble fiber to do it's job, and that recommendation for people who don't drink so much?

Thanks I'm new here and very confused.
