We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.
Most of the people who are saying that prebiotic fiber is necessary for a gut diversity I believe they're basing at all in epidemiology and I think it's quite misleading because when you look at the the interventional studies they don't say that
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

But that concept seems to me to come from epidemiology observational studies like you are suggesting where we look at indigenous people and we say hey they have a diverse microbiome and they're eating lots of fiber. Therefore fiber equals diverse microbiome which is false right because we know that they're also killing animals and touching animals and being in the dirt and being in the sun and drinking you know uh spring water or drinking free flowing water. There are so many things that could affect the diversity of a microbiome beyond fiber.
And I am not aware of any interventional data to support that.
But I've never seen a single interventional study to support that notion. I've only seen epidemiology which is always disproven when we look at interventional studies.
