And you'd be wrong on both counts.

Science says more fibre causes more constipation and no fibre causes no constipation. My experience agrees. Shitting is easy on this diet.

Food frequency questionnaire based epidemiology said processed meat caused cancer, but that study counted pizza as processed meat, perhaps the problem was tomato. Studies that can show causation have not been able to link meat and cancer.

    @jet@hackertalks.com I think you know the more recent science on fibre, could you answer this human's comment that some national and university sites say fibre is important.

    We were talking about constipation, but I expect the links to point at gut health

    I'm not great on sources, sorry. I read stuff, absorb it, forget the origin. I do recall the strength of the sources though, and both claims are backed by pretty strong sources, especially the fibre one. Cancer might be from first principles and plus the weakness of the evidence of cancer risk, which has problems in methods, but even with those problems only managed a hazard ratio of less than 2. Real effects typically have hazard ratios over 4

    If you search in this community you'll probably find posts about each of those topics

    You may need to read research papers as this is a pretty science heavy community

    The YouTube videos posts are typically by MDs with clinical experience with keto and carnivore, most are pretty short, and all have AI summaries
