Is fiber a scam? If it isn't digestible, why should humans eat it?

You know how birds eat rocks to aid digestion? It's sorta like that. Just eat your fiber and stop asking questions.

I need monstrous levels of fiber for my ibs

Something something bacteria in your gut digest the fiber something provide important enzymes something something

Basically this but unironically. Feeds the bacteria. More healthy bacteria the better for the average person. 50-100g a day of fibre. Most people only get 10.

Because it gives you gloriously gelatinous poops instead of anus-shredding jagged diamonds.

Digestible and digestibility are just terms, the body can do whatever it can do in a given situation. The world doesn't have inherent wrongs or rights, just reactions.

seriously, regardless of all the other alleged benefits, once you're on the fiber train and start having effortless and luxurious wipe-free dumps it's all the reward you need to stick with it

You can do semantical somersaults all day and fuck yourself up, if you want.

You don't actually need fiber but if your diet is composed of breads and fried sneed oil foods it probably helps a bit to push all the shit out.

I do think too much fiber can cause problems, if you constantly eat a thing that the stomach can not digest it's bound to cause some intestinal problems. The funny thing is that when people have stomach problems they are encouraged do eat muh fiber rather than stop eating the other shit they are shoving in their mouth.

I've tried many diets through the years (consistently and for a long time), the best diet for ME PERSONALLY has been a low carb diet, mostly animal protein and fat (seafood included) and a very small amount of veggies.

Yeah whatever. You do you.

Meat technically isn't digestible but we still eat it.

Do you take Metamucil or get it from food?

It literally works as a detox. Dietary fiber and blood donation are only ways to remove mercury and lead from your body.

It also reduces strain on your kidneys by removing other waster products from the body

Because it gets deposited on your intestinal walls, and helps poop not get stuck.
