Yes! And he points the finger at fiber for pancreatitis, too.

I just read his description of how the digestive system is, past the stomach and mouth, designed to be liquid. There are narrow apertures and tight turns. It isn’t until much later in the process that stuff bulks up for disposal. At the crucial mid-digestion phase, fiber forms clumps that interfere with its proper operation, all the way down.

In an era where we discover than sugar manufacturers manipulated the science (much like tobacco did) to get fat targeted as the cause of heart disease, is it any wonder their advice about fiber turns out to be tragically wrong, as well?

Salt, fat, fiber, sugar, grains, fruits, vegetables, MEAT. I have changed my attitudes on these dietary elements by 180 degrees. Everything I was told was wrong.
