Very interesting stuff. Probably a great starting point for research on how specific probiotic strains affect cancer/ICB treatment. I imagine there's a ton of nuance there.

[@MrShitConnection]

Your work does not go unappreciated. Thank you for this valuable information!

[@flabio7074]

This is great but nothing compared to the REAL reason I enjoy a high fiber diet: 💩 (glorious)

Excellent study pick this week! Appreciate how you break it all down and communicate with due diligence.

[@amyhartman3527]

2 things…. 1. Thank you for explaining this sciency stuff 🤗 2. I love how you always say “we can not make a blanket statement .” You are (seems like) the only one that does this. FIBER… good stuff

Really interesting video Lane! Thanks 🙏

[@davidwelburn]

Absolutely fascinating video. I really look forward to further developments in this field.

[@donking3360]

Thanks so much for all your great work. Love the new REPS research explained idea. Looking forward to them

[@mcfarvo]

More and more my omnivorous whole foods, high-protein, high-fiber, micronutrient-rich diet continues to look good 👍 and most importantly it works for me

[@HulkSmash315]

This type of omnivorous, all-encompassing diet is the best. I get plenty of protein, fiber, fish, fruits and vegetables as well as fermented foods.There's nothing that I don't eat.

Nice!! This can definitely help us more to understand how to tackle on research papers and potentially make it slightly easier to see through BS, at least for those less familiar with the process. Good stuff, always!

[@olefoerster2462]

I love how in every case when you make a statement, where one could misunderstand/misinterpret it and where with the standard influencer you would think "oh thats a statement you shouldnt make like this" you explain that very thing and put it in to context - great stuff!

Great study! I always love hearing about the gut microbiome. I am someone who uses probiotics currently but not prebiotics because I think I get enough fiber in my diet. Now I'm starting to reconsider that. One other thing, I couldn't find the link to that 5-article a month thing. Which one is it?

[@flexlikeag]

[@robistocco]

So it's soluble fiber, right? Because as I understand that's the type of fiber that feeds the guts microbiome - the insoluble fiber is basically just bulk that passes though and is not digested.

[@johncarter5022]

I think insoluble fibre still helps with producing short chain fatty acids, but could be wrong about that 🤔

[@igorDobrowolski1]

Thank you

[@JC-ss2sn]

This was a great study to pick Dr. Layne, I heard about it on Rich Roll's interview with Dr. Bulsiewicz. I have to go back in your channel now a bit, but it would be nice if you covered more stuff like this rather than people losing weight. I think a lot of these type of videos can give people an overall view the actual benefits of just having basic, good plant based (not 100%) nutrition.

[@scottyg5403]

I'm not sure why anybody would want to argue with the findings of This research. But I'm sure there will be people who will! Anyway another great video thank you

[@jamesm.9285]

Would be interesting to look at how environmental factors that play important roles in the gut microbiome could come into play, too, rather than just dietary contributions.

[@nathanvreeland8761]

Excellent stuff. What about chrons and colitis people who are supposed to avoid fiber? Suggestions?

[@carlgraham7677]

Please link to "REPS" once you start putting them out. Sound really interesting

[@mosin9105]

Thanks

[@flaviodasilva2022]

Excellent. Fiber for the win.

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

The RCT should be easy, just use the pure carnivore crowd, people like Dr. Baker who claim to eat zero fiber. Easy to find lots of volunteers for the zero fiber group. It is an interesting study. You should have a new debate group with Dr. Ken Berry, Dr Baker and Dr. Anthony Chaffee. Would be awesome.

[@the_notorious_bas]

Most of those 'doctors' avoid critical debates. Instead, they prefer to attend 'self-help' podcasts where they can spread their BS without critical questions asked.

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

@@the_notorious_bas They all seem to be reasonable people. I would just like them to be open / honest about the fact that we do not know all the in's and out's of nutrition or health or longevity...... We don't know what we don't know. Plus they never like to talk about type 1 diabetics or special cases or just human emotional issues / trauma that keep some people from finding better health. They also don't like the guys like Dr. Ted Naiman who is healthy and eats some carbs, jejeje. Millions of examples of course.

[@the_notorious_bas]

@@DrAJ_LatinAmerica I only know Dr. Baker, who actually once had a discussion with Layne at Mark Bell's podcast. Most of these doctors are very dogmatic in their views and refute scientific papers or misinterpret them. Also, if Dr. Baker would admit he's wrong about things, then how would this effect his business (books, seminars, etc) ?

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

@@the_notorious_bas not necessarily wrong, more about not be certain. Yes understand

[@samvandervelden8243]

Then it wouldn't be an RCT

[@Joseph1NJ]

The title is not only intriguing, but timely, in that I'm currently reading *The Fiber Fueled Cookbook* (the recipes are really a small part of the book).

[@SuperAwesomedude20]

Yeah I think supplemental probiotics but what about things like kimchii, kamboucha?

[@paddy3622]

outstanding info. is ICB similar to immunotherapy drugs? it's a shame we have all these news stations on tv that never really go over health. and how to become a healthier society. maybe they don't want us to become healthier. 😉

[@saiku7tahun2bulan65]

Interestin' stuff

[@ClickToPreview]

Layne, was that 5 g above 20 g that yielded a 30% less risk, or starting at 0 g and adding 5 g increments?

[@tomatcaravela]

I'm trying to lose weight and get enough protein and fiber. The protein is less of an issue that the fiber. A video on good sources of fiber and how to get enough, especially on a restricted calorie diet would be great!

[@WhatsIQ]

Beans, lentils, blackberries, strawberries, high-fiber protein bars, spinach, mushrooms, tempeh, broccoli, halo top ice cream, Nick's swedish ice cream, peas, carrots, popcorn, etc. Just a bunch of different fiber sources I eat while in a deficit.

[@christophercampbell1004]

Ty

[@limitisillusion7]

I eat a lot of fiber. The difficulty for me is balancing it with the right foods so I'm not on the toilet 4 times a day.

[@The_Goodhearted]

That’s dope

[@Bertone4884]

Recommendations on types of fiber and daily intake?

[@samvandervelden8243]

Just get a variety of different plant foods, this way you get a variety of different types of fiber, this will lead to a more diverse gut microwave

[@Buhrmz]

I wish I could come home, sit down to dinner with my wife & two boys, and-when asked about my day-tell them how I performed a successful poop transplant on some mice . . . maybe then they'd respect me. #algorithm

[@abisheks2418]

@biolayne can you please make a video on sources of fat in food? Saturated fat vs Unsaturated fat. Different kinds of oils in food. Palm oil, olive oil, etc Health benefits and risks

[@Ekometal85]

did the study say what form the fiber came in? soluble vs insoluble, supplement or food source?

[@YoungSandwich10]

They could extend this study using just propionate. Instead of giving the mice fiber give them propionate and see if it increases survival chance.

[@maressacox]

I started a really good probiotic from my naturopath and for the first time in years I have normal looking stool. Is that not a good thing?

[@zootykins]

Great summarisation of the study, thank you. Can you also discuss the latest paper by Arciero et al 2022 Morning Exercise Reduces Abdominal Fat and Blood Pressure in Women; Evening Exercise Increases Muscular Performance in Women and Lowers Blood Pressure in Men? Would be great to hear your opinion on it :)

[@truthbetold6496]

So much for the ketogenic diet and you don't need fiber... or fiber is bad.

[@yakked]

Love the research explanations. Fiber, not sexy, just seems to be good for you.

[@Blinkybottom]

Introduced inulin into my diet years ago and I consume quite a lot of it and for me it's like taking an anti anxiety med.

[@johnpashley8015]

Keep up the good Lords work 🙏

[@RG-yz8ov]

Depends on the fiber, Depends on the probiotic strain (most displace and do not recolonise) Depends on the current microbiota present. Fecal implant maybe 🤔

[@HulkSmash315]

The strain is very, very important. You're correct. Also, none of the probiotics actually can colonize our gut. Our gut has been colonized by trillions of bacteria since birth.It's those guys that are the monopoly. However, good probiotic strains have been shown to have benefits. I would recommend seeing William H Davis's podcasts.

[@matthewm2223]

Intetesting stuff. For balance, would like to hear your thoughts on that study in humans (no cancer) looking at consumption of fermented foods (probiotic rich) vs fruit and veg fibre. Only the fermented foods increased beta diversity and significantly reduced markers of inflammation. The primary effect of the fibre rich fruit and veg seemed to be to increase the number of pre-existing bacteria, not diversity. Obviously this outcome might change if the study looked over a longer period but it was intriguing results.

[@peterdarling1965]

Thanks for sharing the new research. I quit carnivore because I feel better when I have fiber in my diet.

[@AleksandarIvanov69]

Same for me. Was on keto/carnivore for years. Just ate a bowl of rice, beans, fresh vegetables and tuna, and I feel great 👍

[@williamlewis3982]

What type of fiber?

[@MichelleReacts94]

i think its insoluable fibre

[@HabsIsrael4Life]

would kefir and yogurt be considered "probiotic supplementation" in this study?

[@samvandervelden8243]

He has yoghurt on the picture of the video so I think so

[@HabsIsrael4Life]

@@samvandervelden8243 I am not a smart man..

[@georgyx]

May I ask, what does exactly sufficient fiber mean? Enough volume, for example 50 gr/day?

[@joejoe850]

50g is good i'd say. It is definitely better than most people. Personally i end up consuming around 45g daily without trying.

[@samvandervelden8243]

The recommended minimal fiber intake for men is 30g I get about a 100g per day lol

[@madhisathya2766]

The recommended intake is 14g of fiber per 1000 calories you consume. For instance , if you consume 2000 calories then you need to consume 28g of fiber , similarly if you consume 3000 calories a day then 42g of fiber. Slight variations here and there won't have much effect.

[@AngelofD69]

So do you think yogurt may be a detriment if going through a therapy like that?

[@HulkSmash315]

It's only a very few strains that were studied. Also, I think they are talking about probiotic tablets, not real fermented food like yogurt or kefir or sauerkraut.

[@Joseph1NJ]

I think in the nutrition community the consensus has always been prebiotics > probiotics, but never thought they could be detrimental to health.

[@KineticSymphony]

Sorry not on topic of the video, but this is a very curious happening recently I wanted some thoughts on. I was dieting at a standard -500 a day for 2 months, lost about 7 lbs which is swell. Then I decided to take a diet break, bumped my calories back up to maintenance, and in the last two weeks, I'm down almost 3 lbs. And I weigh myself daily, these are from averaged weekly numbers. I know CICO works, so why would I lose weight faster when I bumped calories to maintenance? Did doing so somehow increase my metabolic rate or NEAT? Whatever's happening feels kind of extraordinary.

[@TheSmiaf]

U probably have more energy to move more. When u that low in calories u might sit around and sleep more. Maybe u have for example a step counter to get some indication. Don't underestimate normal daily walking etc.

[@colefiegel5847]

Water weight IMO. Under stress your body can hold more water and so when the stress drops (IE going back to maintenance), you lose the excess water weight. Bodybuilders talk about having their lowest weigh ins after maintenance days all the time

[@KineticSymphony]

@@TheSmiaf Ah well I only track my steps when I'm actively walking for exercise. Maybe I'm walking and fidgeting more or something, so my NEAT went up?

[@KineticSymphony]

@@colefiegel5847 Fascinating! I haven't noticed any sudden dips, it's still gradual, but I guess it could be a gradual loss of water weight.

[@TheSmiaf]

@@colefiegel5847 I thought when u eat more especially carbs u hold more water. True after competition but I think there was another reason for that.... usually they cut out carbs and water so they look more flat in the end. Which is opposite of what u want. This isn't about the weight itself though. Pfff I don't remember the details Honestly 😅

[@TCAPRecipes]

Fiber has been good to me

[@jamessuggitt1648]

I wonder if the key difference is that probiotics are often monoculture as supposed to fibre which creates a spectrum of healthy bacteria. Makes me think of monocultures of trees which isn’t in the same league as a variety of trees in supporting wildlife ecosystems. Just my 2 cents

[@Reppintimefitness]

Back tear 😢

[@acidbaron]

I wonder if prebiotics can be put on the same level or range as fiber in this situation as they both -feed- the good bacteria. From what i read and i am just some guy who reads random things not knowledgeable at all, is that by adding probiotics you could also do harm as you can upset your -balance- which is different from person to person and upsetting this balance is simply put not good for you. (for reference book i got that from was 10% Human: How your bodys Microbes.... by Alanna Collen) Good stuff and looking forward to using the new site!

[@samvandervelden8243]

Prebiotics are fiber

[@acidbaron]

@@samvandervelden8243 True, i just checked the bottle i had left and it literally states, Prebiotic fibre, guess i never considered it fiber due to it being powder.

[@chrismaynard8758]

Couldn’t you find studies that shows fiber to be bad? Layne has said before that you can make the data confess to anything…

I wish I could say none of us need to be told fiber is healthy but.....yeah I underestimate the capabilities of people within echo chambers. Very interesting stuff, look forward to new developments on this.

[@ignacioa1638]

Interesting that ketone bodies are what these fatty acids can be metabolized into, even in the gut. Interestingly, a ketogenic diet or, analogously, a carnivore diet, can accomplish the potential benefits of short-chain fatty acids and ketone bodies' production. I'm 65 and I have been on a low-carb ketogenic diet for over 25 years, which had many benefits for me. It was 6 years ago that I went carnivore (no fiber in my diet) and I have never felt better, including digestion and general well being. I'm quite fit and athletic and take zero medications...and no fiber. I'm just one single data point, but I believe there are others that find benefits in eliminating plant foods (including fiber). Saying "don't" listen to carnivores about fiber intake seems a bit infantile to me.

[@Dan14833]

The real question is if the mice knew if they were getting the drug or a placebo.
