alt Hacker NewsYeah, i wonder what was the fiber i take for someone from egypt or hunter gatherers. I get it that in our modern diet, fiber is better than sugar and plastic stuff made in factories combining oils and sugar into something that looks like food. But if a person is regular and does not have any gut issues, how would more fiber help?

Very high.

There is a ton of research about this and it's why WHO and other orgs state explicitly that fiber reduces rates of colon cancer.
