ZOE Science & Nutrition · How to reduce your heart disease, dementia and cancer risk with 12 everyday high-fibre foods | Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall & Prof Sarah Berry · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

We've done a whole podcast on this, Jonathan, for anyone that wants to find out the mechanism.

And so, for example, if you want to benefit from all the wonders of fiber in terms of our health, getting that diversity means that you're getting everything from the cholesterol lowering effect to the stool bulking effect, the cancer reducing effect to the microbiome effect.

And then even more importantly, which picks up on a really important point that you said as well, is that you're actually getting all the other wonderful things that come with those foods.

So you're not just getting in an apple.

the fibre, you're getting all the polyphenols that are in that apple that you wouldn't get just from a fibre extract, for example.

And that's why diversity, in my opinion, is so important.

So it's not just quantity, it's also the quality, the foods that it's coming from, but also the diversity of those fibres.

When you're increasing your fibre intake, yes, like you said, you need to increase it slowly, but it's really, really important you also consume adequate amounts of water because we know the fibre absorbs the water.

Otherwise, you can actually have the reverse happening to what you would think would happen and you can actually end up with constipation as well as lots of other GI symptoms.

So make sure as you're increasing your fibre, you also increase your fluid intake.

So I think the protein craze is a totally unnecessary waste of time craze.

Am I right, Sarah?

You are right, Hugh.

It started like with the gym bros and then all these claims about protein keeps you fuller for longer.

So feeds into also people's, you know, fear of overeating, weight management, etc.

My 13-year-old son joined a gym a couple of weeks ago and he's never had any interest in nutrition, Hugh, despite what I do.

But suddenly he's like, where can I get pure protein?

Obviously, he started watching certain people on TikTok.

There's a massive difference between fiber maxing and protein maxing.

Fiber, we have a massive deficiency.
