Using GMO Bacteria to Increase Our Fiber Intake with Zack Abbott

Bacillus subtilis is a common bacteria that is found in the upper layers of soil, dairy products, and fermented foods. Zack Abbott, co-founder of ZBiotics, genetically modified that strain of bacteria to give it the unique function of converting a form of sugar called sucrose into a unique type of fiber called levan. In this episode he shares his thoughts on why the naturalist approach is not always best for human health, why fiber intake is crucial for optimal health, why he consumes 50-60 grams of fiber everyday, the anti stress effects of fiber, the health benefits of short chain fatty acids, his thoughts on the validity of stool tests, and more.
