Hi poochie,

Thanks for asking for opinions on this Website.

I'm very suspicious of Websites offering medical information or advice.

The author isn't an MD. The description of his training is a bit vague--he has a degree in pharmacy but that's about all we learn. Also he's selling products. To me these are red flags.

I'm fairly sure he's wrong about fiber. There's overwhelming medical evidence that a certain amount of fiber in the diet is beneficial and that many in the US don't have enough fiber in their diets.
