The parable of the tiny parachute explains the study that found no relationship between dietary fiber intake and diverticulosis.
DOCTOR’S NOTE
What the heck is the parable of which I speak? See Dr. Katz’s brilliant Lifestyle Medicine and the Parable of the Tiny Parachute.
This is a follow-up to my last video: Diverticulosis: When Our Most Common Gut Disorder Hardly Existed. Make sure you catch this “prequel.”
This reminds me of an ancient video I did: Flawed Study Interpretation.
People commonly ask, Do Vegetarians Get Enough Protein?—but maybe they should be more concerned where everyone else is getting their fiber. 97% of Americans don’t even reach the recommended daily minimum.
2019 Update: Check out my new video on fiber, Is Fiber an Effective Anti-Inflammatory? and all my fiber videos here.
