[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2679265, member: 150927"] Yes indeedy. I do find it rather, er, um, curious? That the amount of fibre recommended is soooo much! I ended up discussing how much fibre and what food I would have to be eating every day with my good friend who I have been discussing such things with in detail since my diagnosis back 10 years now. We ended up having a very good laugh! And I don't think the fibre recommendation was supposed to be so terribly funny. I haven't looked up the science behind such recommendations - which is often really interesting, if one has the time. If anyone else has done so (thanks heaps for the youtube vid [USER=471815]@MissMuffett[/USER] / hopefully there will be references in that...will watch shortly) this thread would be a great place to share and discuss? What say you [USER=134910]@gogobroom[/USER] ? Before following that interesting evidence path, something I have found...curious? and interesting? is that the fibre recommendations are usually in sync with the '5 a day' recommendatons re fruit and veg. And I know how .... super surprised... I was to find out that the 5 a day is not based on any science, but was an extremely successful marketing ploy, orginating in Canada I believe? It makes me, hmmm, make a face? every time I see the 5 a day recommendation, as it now nutrition gospel. So will be as interesting to find out, if that is in fact the case, that we are supposed to get our fibre intake from the 5 a day intake plus wholegrains and legumes, using that non-scientific recommendation, and it turns out that the fibre recommendation is just as un-supported by studies. So, a recommendation supporting another recommendation in a nice circular argement, and neither science-based. Just a thought. And, how incredibly...funny? If that is the case! [/QUOTE]
