Let's get down to (Buttered) Brass Tacks, again:
We all know that Fiber helps against Constipation, right? But do we? What if someone genuinely proved the opposite?

Spoiler alert: They did!

Turns out that "adding more traffic to a traffic jam" is a useful metaphor for "adding more fiber to a constipated digestive tract".

Why am I not surprised?

@Leisureguy Thanks for this. #fiber is the most important and most underrated nutrient. #dietaryfiber #microbiome #plantbaseddiet

Dietary fiber is an essential part of one's diet, affecting not just the colon, but also one's immune system, brain, and overall health.

And fiber is found *only* in unrefined non-animal foods. (I would add that refining plant foods removes more than just fiber — for example, bran from grain contributes fiber but also minerals and vitamins).

A diverse whole-food non-animal diet is your best diet for health.

I use psyllium husk fiber as a supplement, and find it to be super helpful for staying "regular". I was curious how it worked so I looked it up and came across this paper, https://journals.lww.com/nutritiontodayonline/Fulltext/2021/07000/Psyllium__The_Gel_Forming_Nonfermented_Isolated.5.aspx . The idea is that the gel forming behavior of psyllium husk fiber is the most important factor allowing all the benefits. Take the paper with a grain of salt though because the authors are affiliated with Proctor and Gamble which makes Metamucil.
