Dietary reference intakes (2005) for Japanese were established instead of 6th edition Dietary Allowance in November, 2004. DRIs were prepared as the objects of health promotion, primary prevention of lifestyle-related diseases and prevention of detrimental effects by over-intake for individual and population. The tentative dietary goal of dietary fiber was 10g/1000kcal for preventing lifestyle-related diseases for Japanese, although the definition and analytical method of dietary fiber was different from country to country. The definition of dietary fiber used in DRIs (2005) was the non-digestible food components which are not digested by human digestive enzymes.
