Fun fact: as of 2016, only 5% of Americans get adequate daily fiber intake, where: Adequate intake of dietary fiber is associated with digestive health and reduced risk for heart disease, stroke, hypertension, certain gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. Definitely don't skimp on the fiber.

Had a lot of movements that made me think I might have IBS. Then I got some metamucil and didn't even have to take it very regularly to see significant and lasting improvements. Guessing some of the crap my gut biome really didn't like ended up getting stuck in there and kept signaling "emergency evacuation required" but it didn't help until some fiber was able to clean it out.

Without going into details, it was a significant difference in my day to day life, not just some arbitrary "% of heart attack chance reduced" (which is still good just not as noticeable unless you're regularly having heart attacks already).

Like everything else in life, though, some people don't do well with increased fiber.

Nothing is universal.

Don't eat so much. Get off your ass more.

Woah let's calm down
