    I don’t have to, I’m not the one that’s attempting to circumvent decades of medical advice based on a flimsy trial that only targeted 63 people.

    in a real study, there would be thousands of subjects in order to get any real results.

    if there was any evidence that increasing fiber intake does not result in loosening stool, it would be a widely distributed paper with multiple peer reviews.

    actually a study found that in a random blind test of 1000+ people 66% of the subjects had constipation symptoms lessen while 44% of the placebo group also saw symptoms reduced. this means fiber had an increased chance of relieving constipation.

    so yeah, a fiber rich diet can improve your constipation but it’s different on a case-by-case basis.

      What is the decades of advice based on?

      actually a study found that in a random blind test of 1000+ people 66% of the subjects had constipation symptoms lessen while 44% of the placebo group also saw symptoms reduced. this means fiber had an increased chance of relieving constipation.

      Can you please give me the name of this study? Id like to actually read it
