That’s a common misconception. Fiber actually constipates people. It’s indigestible and irritates the delicate lining of the intestines. Would you eat sticks and rocks? They’re also indigestible.
Benefits from eating fibrous vegetables upon digestion is probably a confusion with their water content. If you eat sticky or dry foods then having something with water that can’t be digested is probably going to assist excavation. Raw meat happens to have high water content and is like a gentle massage going down the intestinal track. Eat a pound of raw fish / sashimi / poke and see what a perfect stool looks and feels like.
Meat and fat are also highly assimilable and most gets absorbed in the small intestines.
The body produces large quantities of bile because much of it is expected to be absorbed by fiber and passed. If you don't get fiber, you'll reabsorb too much bile and this results in high cholesterol.
The irritation that fiber causes is minor. Pineapple irritates the mouth but eating small amounts isn't a big deal. Fiber is far less irritating but servers a number of useful functions, like absorbing bile and helping to clear out the intestines to keep anything from lingering too long.
What....? Bile is for digesting fat. The fact we have a gallbladder to store and release bile in large amounts speaks volumes about our natural diet- we are meant to eat large quantities of animal food at once exactly like a wolf hunting it’s prey.
And the body is very good at recycling it. Unless we eat high fiber foods similar to the undomesticated ones our ancestors ate, we end up with too much bile and that causes a host of issues, including indigestion and high cholesterol.
Not true at all. As you just said, our bodies are good at recycling it. We recycle it because it’s useful and necessary. The same way we recycle stomach acid, saliva, enzymes. Bile assists digestion which is why people with blocked gallbladders always get improved digestion after a liver flush.
