With all the conversation about fiber you should probably address the question of people who eat carnivore. These are extraordinarily healthy people who eat no added fiber. The idea that we must have fiber is not accurate, it is more contingent on the type of diet.
When an individual has a colon issue they are frequently told to avoid fiber entirely. Fiber taxes the colon.
To be clear, I do eat some fiber. I eat avocado and some seasonal fruit and vegetables but I am moving closer to carnivore for the tremendous health benefits.
If you aren't eating a lot of processed food and other junk your gut microbiome is healthy. I understand that your gut instinct (pun intended) will be to reject this. Anyone reading this comment would be well advised to research the many societies that have eaten exclusively or almost exclusively animal products and have been very healthy.
It's also important to recognize where a lot of the information in our dietary guidelines comes from. The Seventh Day Adventists are responsible for much of our dietary guidelines in the United States. That is generally not disclosed. People believe that meat is bad for them when it is in fact the only food upon which you can live with nothing else. Meat is also not damaging to the environment not if it is raised properly. To the contrary, animals farmed enriched the soil. Monocropping damages the environment There is so much misinformation, I can't address all of it in one comment.
Vegetarians and vegans must supplement their diets or they die. The incidence of autism amongst vegans is much higher than the general public because in part of a lack of carnitine, an essential nutrient that can be made in the body but not for at the rate necessary for ideal health in the absence of red meat.
There are many essential nutrients and vitamins that vegans and vegetarians do not get enough of and must supplement. Omega-3 for example, our diets are too high in omega-6 and without animal products it is impossible to get enough omega-3. Vitamin B12 is another. How can the vegan or vegetarian diet be the ideal human diet if you must artificially supplement or die?
Please understand, whomever is reading this, I thought this way too. I've spent years learning about this. I'm an attorney and I applied my research skills to this topic because it is so important. Please don't take my word for it, take the time and educate yourselves and be careful about the resources you get information from.
Sponsored studies almost always favor the sponsoring entity. If you are reading something that is in whole or part paid for by an industry, treated with suspicion.
