A 2023 Nutrients trial tested resistant potato starch at doses starting from just 3.5 grams, a reminder that small amounts are worth measuring in fibre research.

A 2022 review of 16 randomised trials found more flatulence on fibre than control, and a 2008 dosing study shows why more fibre isn't always better.
26 August 2026
A 2020 dose-response trial testing 3 resistant starch structures found the effect on gut bacteria levelled off at 35 grams a day, revealing how directly bacterial activity track...
