RE: the fallacy of dietary fibres & increasing digestive time -- Groves Article

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

Regarding Barry Groves' article " Climb Down From the Bran Wagon " , it's too

bad he used bran for the fiber in his tests. It says something about bran

but not necessarily about the role of fiber in diet. A far better test would

have been to use some arbitrary mixture of plant derived vegetable fiber

like, well, even steamed broccoli. As you well know, grains like bran have

their own set of problems, especially for people with Candida Overgrowth,

Bacterial Infections and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Also, anyone who suddenly increases the amount of fiber they eat will have

all sorts of problems. Fiber, as most things in life, should be introduced

gradually.

And as far as your personal experience with all meat and fat and no plant

fiber, I'm very glad that works for you but that kind of diet would

absolutely KILL me. Different digestive system I guess.
