“Low-carbohydrate diets centered on plant foods, however, may offer a way to lower carbohydrate intake without increasing the risk of hyperuricemia. Learn how to follow a plant- and fiber-rich, low-carbohydrate (ketogenic) diet in this clip featuring Dr. Dominic D'Agostino.”

“In this small randomized controlled trial, the processed and unprocessed meals had the same amounts of calories, sugars, fiber, fat, and carbohydrates, and participants were free to consume as much as they wanted.”

“Whole grains are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Robust evidence indicates that people who consume whole grains as part of a healthy diet are less likely to develop cancer or cardiovascular disease or die prematurely.”

“The major source of fructose in the American diet is from sweetened beverages and processed foods. Fructose that is present in whole fruit, however, is altogether different. This is because it is complexed to a fiber matrix (which alters gut absorption and metabolism).”

“Both smoke-exposed groups had a lower muscle weight when compared to the control group and showed a decrease in fiber area in the muscles prior to introduction of exercise. Exercise reversed some of this type of damage in the smoke-exposed exercise group.”

“People with normal blood sugar levels lost most weight on a low-fat high/carbohydrate diet, whereas pre-diabetic individuals lost more weight on a diet with more focus on the quality of the carbohydrate content (i.e. lower glycemic index and more fiber).”

“This could be because some of the sugar-enriched foods also contained fiber and/or other nutrients that can change how refined sugar is metabolized and it's effect on the gut. It could also be due to something else...after all, this was not a controlled clinical trial so causation cannot be established from this study.”

“The authors of the study observed notable changes in the participants' gut microbiomes, which were associated with higher numbers of bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids – byproducts of dietary fiber metabolism that reduce gut inflammation.”

“One potential caveat is the meal was composed of refined carbohydrates and sugars (ie. cornflakes, bread with jam). It would be interesting to see if the same results hold true for either a high-fat meal or a meal rich in fiber (ie.”

“One researcher involved in the study said: “There were instances where the [plastic] fibers could actually be seen in the stomach contents as they were being removed.” Personally, I am trying to reduce the amount of plastic I consume.”
