Not long term it’s not, the studies that show that are short term in nature, like most diet studies.
Fiber is a double edge sword, some people do great with more, some people do terrible with more — it’s highly dependent and the only way to know is experiment. The book Health Gut, Healtby You by Dr. Ruscio is the most up to date book on gut health.
- AstralStorm 8y agoNot quite up to date anymore I'm afraid. In general I agree. There is a major confounder that the best source of fiber are raw vegetables which have other beneficial properties - but most studies of it tended to use something much simpler than actual fiber combinations found in foods. We do not know nearly enough about how diet impacts gut microbiome, nor how the environment does. It is really hard to study anyway.
