I eat meat, but man do I see some dumb shit posted on that com. Apparently I called someone too hard on their bullshit. Hardcore carnists sure are fucking delicate. Maybe they should get a little more fiber in their diet.

    You’ll be surprised to learn that eating no fiber at all completely relieved idiopathic constipation in a study done on the topic: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3435786/

    Observational study, obviously, and correlation isn’t causation. But it’s easy enough to experiment on yourself. I have no constipation and consume no fibre in my diet.

      Idiopathic constipation - these people were not healthy. It’s a bit like saying reducing gluten for patients with celiac disease makes people healthier so no one should eat gluten.

      But who cares about science when you can cherry-pick papers.

        Pick a lane! Either you want scientific papers, or you don’t. Ignoring papers because they don’t line up with your pet hypothesis is anti-science.

        also has other benefits, slowing down blood sugar absorption, and fat absorption.

        Yes, this is why fibre is a anti-nutrient. If you don’t eat unhealthy food this isn’t a positive thing.

        usually it keeps your regular too.

        If people enjoying bulking up their stools, good for them, but this isn’t a health benefit.
