Yeah, i wonder what was the fiber i take for someone from egypt or hunter gatherers. I get it that in our modern diet, fiber is better than sugar and plastic stuff made in factories combining oils and sugar into something that looks like food. But if a person is regular and does not have any gut issues, how would more fiber help?

Very high. > But if a person is regular and does not have any gut issues, how would more fiber help? There is a ton of research about this and it's why WHO and other orgs state explicitly that fiber reduces rates of colon cancer.
- Jerrrrrrrry 7mo ago99% of humans ate meat, amd fruits occasionally. Fiber does nothing.
- staticassertion 7mo agolol this is such utter bullshit? I'm blown away by how confidently stated and how utterly incorrect this is. 1. Ancient egyptians ate fucktons of wheat and barley, lentils, chickpeas, etc. They ate massive amounts of fiber lol I mean holy fuck I just can't believe how wrong you are? 2. Fiber is very, very well understood by ALL health organizations to be preventative for colon cancer.
- boringg 7mo agoYou shouldn't feed the trolls.
- staticassertion 7mo agoMaybe, but the person they're responding to seemed to be genuine in their question, and I worry that they'll read a statement like "they mostly ate meat" and think it's plausible when it's insanely incorrect.

- Jerrrrrrrry 7mo agoAncient Egyptians is less than 10,000 years ago. Homo genus is 2 million years old. Repeating "muh authorities" isnt an argument. Your willful axiomatic dogmatism isnt science. Cave paintings dont depict agriculture. They depicted hunting and agrarian nomadic lifestyles
