> If we all take fiber pills and probiotics will that reduce waste Fiber pills do not reduce waste. They increase it. That is the point of fiber. It increases stool. Fiber is also known as “bulk”. > Should we be introducing these things into the water supply like fluoride? This is like asking if we should put protein into the water supply. You can’t just dump a bunch of psyllium husk into the water supply. It won’t make it through the water supply and come out of the tap on customers’ homes. It will just gunk up the city pipes, pumps, etc. If it did somehow work it would make the water supply disgusting to drink and unusable for many domestic purposes.
