    Are .gov sources still legitimate? Are we sure this wasn’t written by rfk’s brain worm?

      This is nearly a decade old and pretty well documented reference-wise, so I trust it. I definitely understand the healthy skepticism.

      Tangentially related, I’ve been buying “carb balance” tortillas instead of regular ones for a while now. They’re not quite as gummy (maybe not the right word but it’s what I can come up with right now) but still pretty damn good and they’re packed with fiber. It’s been a real easy way to work more fiber into my diet. Eating more veggies is still the best source of fiber though, from what I can tell.

      This is a 2016 article from the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine. Are you familiar with what PubMed is? Did you click the link?

      When giving information that goes against the regime’s narrative they can be treated as somewhat trustworthy. RFK Jr is way more into the high meat diet, and animal products don’t provide dietary fiber.

      Sorry, but they weren’t legitimate before anyway. RDA’s aren’t scientific, just observational. So we have zero idea what anyone actually needs.

      There’s no way you could say the average person should have a given intake of pretty much anything. Way too much variability in a population. At best you may be able to state a range.

        95 % is the range, since it goes from 0 % to 95 %. Only the top 5 % are not in that range.
