They reduced fiber in v1.4 because it was causing flatulence in some people. This is probably because those people were already eating a very low-fiber (unhealthy) diet; the gut microbiome would adjust given more time.
I am very enthusiastic about Soylent and currently use it (with a fiber supplement). However, I can't in good conscience recommend it to other people without that caveat. I don't know of any evidence for safety of the fiber reduction.

- maerF0x0 11y agoI suppose a little metamucil could fix it? Or maybe kale? I realise thats beyond the point though.
- brador 11y agoHow about a Soylent, but where you build your own from modules. The modules could have different nutrition profiles and you could mix them how you like. Maybe they'd taste different too.
