Fiber Menace

Fiber Menace

Fiber Menace is for people who believe fiber prevents cancers, reduces the risk of heart disease, regulates blood sugar, wards off diabetes, lowers appetite, induces weight loss, cleanses the colon, and eliminates constipation.

Tragically, none of it is true, and Fiber Menace explains why itâ€™s the complete opposite. Most of those findings have been well known and widely publicized even before Fiber Menaceâ€™s release. Here are some of the most striking examples:

â€” Fiber doesnâ€™t ward off colon cancer, according to the Harvard School of Public Health: â€œFor years, Americans have been told to consume a high-fiber diet to lower the risk of colon cancer [â€¦] Larger and better-designed studies have failed to show a link between fiber and colon cancer.â€ Scores of other studies, cited in Fiber Menace, have demonstrated that fiber increases the risk of colon cancer. (p. 181)

â€” Fiber doesnâ€™t prevent breast cancer either, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention. In fact, itâ€™s the complete opposite: â€œCarbohydrate intake was positively associated with breast cancer risk.â€ Fiber happens to be a carbohydrate too, and carbohydrates are the only food that contains fiber. (p. 183)

â€” Fiber doesnâ€™t reduce the risk of heart disease, according to the American Heart Association: â€œA fiber supplement added to a diet otherwise high in saturated fat and cholesterol provides dubious cardiovascular advantage.â€ Furthermore, these supplements caused â€œreduced mineral absorption and a myriad of gastrointestinal disturbancesâ€ â€” factors that in fact, contribute to heart disease. (p. 41)

â€” Fiber doesnâ€™t counteract diabetes, according to the Harvard School of Public Health: â€œFiber intake has also been linked with the metabolic syndrome, a constellation of factors that increases the chances of developing heart disease and diabetes.â€ Truth is, fiber requires more insulin or drugs to control blood sugar, and makes diabetes even more devastating. (p. 220)

â€” Fiber doesnâ€™t curb appetite, according to the Jean Mayer U.S. Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University: â€œâ€¦fiber supplements did not alter hunger, satiety or body weight in a pilot study of men and women consuming self-selected diets.â€ In fact, fiber stimulates appetite, extends digestion, expands stomach capacity, and makes you hungrier the next time around. (p. 60-76, or here.)

â€” Fiber doesnâ€™t keeps â€œcolon cleanâ€ by speeding elimination, according to the highly respected and authoritative Rome II: The Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders textbook: â€œThere is little or no relationship between dietary fiber and whole gut transit time.â€ In fact, fiber delays transit time more than does any other food ingredient, and is the primary cause of chronic constipation, hemorrhoids, diverticulosis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. (p. 21,23, 29, 103)

â€” Fiber doesnâ€™t relieve chronic constipation, according to the American College of Gastroenterology Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders Task Force: all legitimate clinical trials demonstrated no â€œimprovement in stool frequency or consistency when compared with placebo.â€ How could it, if it caused it in the first place? (p. 105, 115)

But that's only a small part of fiberâ€™s menacing role in human nutrition. It also has itâ€™s imprint in practically all digestive disorders. In that context, learning from Fiber Menace diet may end up becoming one of the most transformational experiences of your life.
