We Have Reduced Fiber Intake Over 10,000 Years

80% of us are missing this — A 10,000-year mistake in how we eat

When given a fiber breath test, we produce methane instead of hydrogen.

Meanwhile, centenarians in Okinawa — people over 100 — have higher breath hydrogen than the average person in middle age.

This isn't a coincidence.

Molecular hydrogen is an evolved molecule. We used to produce it naturally by fermenting 100–150 grams of dietary fiber per day. Through 10,000 years of agriculture, we've bred fiber out of our food. The average person now gets 10–15 grams. Some get as little as 1–3.

We've essentially killed off the gut bacteria that make hydrogen.

The result: our cells lost a critical stress regulator. Hydrogen isn't a typical antioxidant — it triggers your body's own antioxidant production
