Abstract in brief

  • The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends that people consume adequate amounts of dietary fiber from various plant foods, as higher fiber intake is linked to lower risks of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
  • Dietary fiber, defined as nondigestible carbohydrates and lignin found in plants, has health benefits such as reducing disease risk and helping maintain healthy body weight; the recommended intake is 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men daily.
  • Currently, the average fiber intake in the U.S. is about 17 grams per day, which is below the recommended levels, so increasing consumption of whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts, while reducing sugar and fat, can help meet dietary fiber needs.]

That’s incorrect. The official position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (the world’s largest organisation of nutrition and food professionals) is that a vegan diet can be healthful & nutritionally complete at every stage of life, and can aid in preventing & treating many chronic diseases.
