If you’ve ever heard of Metamucil, that’s just psyllium husk in a powder form and it’s not just for old people. Adding some of this to your daily routine has a ton of benefits. I tried to write a few sentences explaining the benefits but they all turn out like shit.

    Isn’t the whole point that it’s non soluble fiber though? Meaning it more or less just uh, passes through.

      That’s a good point, but unfortunately I’ve never seen any evidence that your body does or does not absorb the lead from psyllium fiber, or if the fiber maybe even absorbs more lead from your body on the way through. All I know is that psyllium fiber has lead in it, and that there are other sources of fiber that don’t.
