Doctor's Note
Some foods don’t just lack fiber but may interact with our gut flora to contribute to disease in other ways. Check out my last videoMicrobiome: The Inside Story.
This amazing prebiotic story helps explain why fiber-rich (i.e. whole plant) foods are so good for us. See, for example, Dr. Burkitt’s F-Word Diet. This reminds me of The Broccoli Receptor: Our First Line of Defense, in terms of our body using what we eat as cues to optimize immune function.
