Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall learns all about fibre, and why we need to eat more of it. In this episode, he investigates the science of fibre, and how it can hugely help with our current UK crisis in obesity and other diet-related illnesses. Whilst most of us are nowhere near getting our recommended daily allowance of 30g, the online diet trend of "fibremaxxing" is trying to change this. Is fibremaxxing flash in the pan, or is it here to stay?
