Hey, you know what fiber is good for? Speeding up gut motility! You know what a faster gut motility is good for! Getting toxins out of our body quicker!

But there's two kinds of fiber, one of them which is healthy because it speeds up gut motility, and the other because it inhibits gut motility.

In that case, wouldn't you want to include things like sorbitol?

I want to emphasize I'm not making any grand claims of advice. I'm more being skeptical of traditional advice as someone who had/has a colon issue and tried everything under the sun.
