Section 4.1 (Research) has outdated studies on colorectal cancer risk and fiber intake. More recent meta-analyses show a marked reduction in risk of colon cancer with higher fiber intake. Here are four: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09637486.2018.1446917 https://ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.1200/JCO.2017.35.15_suppl.e15080 https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/11/7/1579 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1556370717301013 2603:8081:3D01:4800:D96E:5A9F:D45F:6B01 ( talk) 19:23, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Does not give any useful information to the general reader. Seems like a hodgepodge of unorganized "information". Krok6kola ( talk) 12:37, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
“any user can improve the article” - this is BARELY true. Users can only improve the article if they’re familiar with Wikipedia’s numerous customs and expectations, and are willing to attempt improvements despite the likelihood of rebuke. For example, the introductory section makes a mess of classifying insoluble vs. Soluble. “Fermentable fibers – such as resistant starch and inulin” is followed by “Soluble fiber (fermentable fiber or prebiotic fiber)”, which insinuates soluble = fermentable. This is later contradicted with “Some forms of insoluble fiber, such as resistant starches, can be fermented in the colon.[12]”, which references non-soluble ‘resistant starches’, which is also referenced a few lines above with “Inulin … and resistant starches[10] are soluble fibers.[2]” (removed some fluff for brevity). While I COULD try to edit this nonsense, it would be MUCH easier to just remove them, than to check all references and mediate between two contradicting editors, only to be chewed out by the offended “loser” and the format police. Even adding to this TALK entry required experimentally changing the default TALK view to wiki-style, and accepting the likelihood that it will be wrong and someone will get mad because I don’t know how to manually add a signature. Sure, anyone can edit Wikipedia - but Wikipedians don’t exactly make it easy or appealing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:FEF0:80F7:A8CA:1F9:78F2:C85B ( talk) 19:47, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
There's probably a more appropriate place to display the image captioned "Children eating fiber-rich food" smh 2601:CD:C480:1BB0:7D28:D223:E51:B32B ( talk) 04:46, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Done - although it's not a very good image. I checked Wikimedia Commons for an alternate one, but all those available are poor. Zefr ( talk) 05:26, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect High-residue diet and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 October 31#High-residue diet until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
