I actually started this diet because of gut issues. Following doctor recommendations made my gut problems significantly worse. Increasing fiber & "whole grains" caused severe pain & inflammation. I had intestinal colitis & I was probably headed for a chrones diagnosis if I had continued eating the way our corrupt health system recommends, but all of that was completely cured by removing all grains, veg oils, & reducing carbs. The truth is that we cannot digest fiber & so it is devoid of any nutritional benefit & bassically just an irritant. Plants in general are devoid of key nutrients & contain toxins like oxalate, lectins, saponins, tannins, etc. The "studies" that say otherwise (as your article touts) are paid for by cereal companies & other corrupt corporations that want people to believe their "plant based," addictive, cheap to produce & store & ship, high profit margin, garbage is healthier than meat & eggs & butter which are actual foods. I have been on a grain free low carb diet for 12+ years & I have been carnivore for 7 of those years.
