If this surprises people, they’re going to flip when they find that most research is privately funded by people with a vested interest. This is why public science funding is so important, it provides research with an alternate motive. Somewhere in the middle of all the ulterior research motives, public and private, you can find something closer to the truth.
You can get fiber from a lot of places, it’s mainly that the claim of whole grains being part of a healthy diet is exaggerated. Technically your body doesn’t require grains at all, if you eat true vegetables you have fulfilled the purpose of grains in your diet. Notably, whole grains generally do not have a of micronutrients or even macronutrients. Compared to bleached white bread, which is whole grains with the exterior parts of the grain removed and then bleached and processed, you do get some additional nutritional benefits.
Whole grains are much easier for farms to produce because they already make up a large portion of the feed diet for livestock.
Public research exists and this is a gross misrepresentation of science intended to discredit it.
Research being privately funded doesn’t even mean it’s biased or untrustworthy. Most people in the world, even evil people, need resources that work and sometimes have to foot the bill to get them developed themselves, and that includes research.
Damn. The scientific world isn’t perfect but it is overall a lot better, less biased and much better than the unscientific world where corruption is absolutely rampant everywhere and people openly dismiss facts they don’t like.

Whole grain is super healthy for you because it has lots of grain in it. The scientists told me so.
I’m genuinely confused. Whole grain means higher fiber, which has a lot of benefits, compared to like white bread or something. Am I wrong?

Lol yeah because whole grains are where the huge profit margins are.
They were wearing white lab coats and had test tubes and pipettes and everything!
First amendment protects me from using my tax dollars to fund people proving god doesn’t exist. Checkmate atheists /s

There’s an actual real talk that needs to be had about this but it can’t be had when obvious fucking charlatans take advantage of it to discredit science. The U.S. government still funds 44% of basic research in the U.S. despite the big drop from the 60’s and 70’s but that doesn’t really mean all that much. This asshole is just making a mountain out of a molehill to tell you no one should believe in science.
