@drkeithsiau @Mousehole1 So can chronic constipation!

[Sharon Erdrich PhD @NerdSharo]

@Prasannasimha @drkeithsiau Only helpful in some. One fig contains only ~1 - 1.5 g fibre, but they are high in fructose and sorbitol (polyol) which will have an osmotic effect on non-absorbers.
Mixed fibre supplementation has better chance!

@cjsbishop Promote yourself on your own merits. Not by being a bully.

[Sharon Erdrich PhD @NerdSharo]

@NZNationalParty STOP this hideous adoption of USA-style politics. Build credibility on your own merits. LEAVE the opposition out. Dingbats.

[Sharon Erdrich PhD @NerdSharo]

@NZNationalParty Politicians who try to score points by thumping the opposition are shooting themselves in the foot. If you can't build credibility based on your own attributes then you've probably got no credibility at all

[Sharon Erdrich PhD @NerdSharo]

@actparty Any stats that support this being an actual problem?

[Sharon Erdrich PhD @NerdSharo]

@loosewheelnz @actparty I think that's the point...

[Sharon Erdrich PhD @NerdSharo]

@drkeithsiau The gut starts right there.

@drkeithsiau @YRUnotlistening It is surprising as diet is not our primary source of vitamin D. It's meant to come from skin + sun + cholesterol !

So delighted that the 5th results paper from my PhD thesis is (finally) published. Thanks to my co-authorship team and to the 168 women who contributed their poop (and other things) to this study.

@ValerieAnne1970 @Paisano @KenDBerryMD @anthony_chaffee @SBakerMD @EricChance @carnivore_jt @realzerocarb @MichelleHurnRD @DrMcFillin @markeatsmeat No one would ever insist that was a healthy way to eat!

[Sharon Erdrich PhD @NerdSharo]

@drkeithsiau I learned it increases your risk of gastro 800-fold. Exaggeration?
