DOES FIBER FEED YEAST IN OUR BODIES?

[Guest guest]

here's a question i cant seem to figure out: does fiber (ie the fiber

content from fruits, veggies, etc) feed yeasts in our bodies? as far

as nutrition labelling is concerned fiber is classified as a

carybohydrate, and in so being, i would think that YES, it would.

however, these are just words (the government HAPPENS to classify it

as carb-containing, but really is it?) and i just can't figure it out.

ps. i used to be a fiberfreak. thought that the whole diet should

revolve around it. i stopped that approx 6 mos ago. now i am pretty

much low-carb. no atkins or anything, just a basic NT approach. lots

of fats and proteins from healthy animals. no fruit and little veg.

occasional beer. thats bout it. just wondering is all. take care.

psII i really really ask this question because i LOVELOVELOVE coconut

butter. not coconut oil. well, let me clarify, i love both, but i use

coconut oil only in cooking really, not in straight eating. coconut

BUTTER, however, i simply adore and love to have a scoop as a kind of

dessert. there is a decent carbohydrate content (albeit almost solely

derived from fiber) though and so i wonder if i am really doing my

body good.
