>>>>"The foods with the greatest prebiotic fiber content include:
  • Green bananas and plantains: 27 to 30 g fiber in one medium banana
  • Raw white potato (peeled): 20 to 24 g fiber per one medium potato
  • Hummus or roasted chickpeas: 15 g fiber per 1/4 cup (10 g net carbohydrates in 1/4 cup)
  • Lentils: 2.5 g fiber in 1/2 cup (11 g net carbohydrates)
  • Beans: 3.7 g fiber in 1/2 cup (22 g net carbohydrates)
  • Inulin: 5 g fiber per teaspoon"


I don't know where he gets this stuff. A medium banana has 27g of carbohydrates, the majority of which are sugar, 3 off which are fiber. A quarter cup of hummus has 12g carbohydrate, 2 of which are fiber. Am I missing something here? Has he somehow redefined fiber?

Over the years I've called him a number times on his funny facts, which tend to call into question his whole message.
