The bad ones, we're actually suppressing.

Not only do we achieve that,

But fiber actually stops being fiber and is converted into these short-chain fatty acids, acetate, propionate, and butyrate.

And we mentioned a few moments ago, these are the most anti-inflammatory nutrients that exist.

And they play an essential role, particularly butyrate, in the restoration of the gut barrier.

that those tight junction proteins that hold the cells together, basically the cement to our bricks, are prepared from butyrate.

We need that energy source in order to achieve what we're looking for there.

I sincerely believe that what we view as being sicker than ever and the stress that's placed on the healthcare systems in our countries

is directly related, not in isolation, this isn't the only factor, these are complex issues, but is directly related to the longstanding fiber deficiency that we've had in our cultures, where 95% of Americans and about 90% of people in the UK are deficient in this essential nutrient that we need in order to restore these systems, the microbiome, the barrier, and the immune system are all deficient

elevated and improved.

And as we sit here today, we have a fiber deficiency epidemic.

And Jonathan, my favorite fiber study of all time, Professor Andrew Reynolds from New Zealand, showed us that fiber is strongly definitively associated

with protection from heart disease, from heart attacks, from death from heart disease, protection against three different forms of cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, protection from death from cancer, protection against stroke, protection against diabetes, and more.

And we look out and we see what's getting us.

I just named four of the top 10 causes of death in America.

four of the top 10 causes of death in the UK.

I really believe that fiber needs to be addressed.

And this to me is not just like a passive, hey, we could use more vitamin D type of thing.

No, no, no.

This is way too important for us to be passive.
