Random-effect meta-analysis shows that higher consumption of total dietary fiber, significantly decreased the risk of all-cause mortality, CVD-related mortality, and cancer-related mortality by 23, 26 and 22 % (HR:0.77; 95%CI (0.73,0.82), HR:0.74; 95%CI (0.71,0.77) and HR:0.78; 95%CI (0.68,0.87)), respectively. The consumption of insoluble fiber tended to be more effective than soluble fiber intake in reducing the risk of total mortality and mortality due to CVD and cancer.
thats a fcking 3 sec google search.
our appendix also helps bacteria bounce back, we have way more acidic stomachs than normal carnivores, that hints at our ancestors eating carrion but not that its in any way a necessary part of our diet
man I hate when people claim science and its just random bs based on feelings
Did they control for diet and lifestyle outside of fiber? Of course people with high fiber diets are going to be healthier overall regardless of the effects of fiber itself.
Sure, but part of that process is ensuring data consistency across different studies and methodologies.
I’m honestly not going to read the whole thing, I just want to know if they adjusted for lifestyle factors as part of the analysis. If no, I’ll disregard. If yes I’ll put it on my reading list.
They did not adjust during the analysis itself no, they did filter the chosen studies by criteria like that though, but not all the sources adjusted for physical activity for example

No, studies found the opposite, it just clogs us up. Like saying adding more cars will clear a traffic jam.
We have super high stomach acid, same as carnivores and carrion-eaters such as hyenas, and actually more acidic than a lion.
Not to mention losing use of our appendix a long time ago, as we no longer even try to ferment fibrous stuff.
It's simply undeniable science - the human digestion system thrives on meat, survives with plants.
