While watching Ray on  48 Hours, a commercial came on admonishing the
public to make sure they were getting 25 grams of fiber in their daily
diet to avoid colon cancer, high cholesterol, etc.  They showed a lady
eating a bowl of beans, followed by a list of "great" sources of  fiber
- whole grains, legumes, veggies.  So here's my question - If we are
doing Paleo and hovering in, near or slightly above ketosis level, what
about this issue of enough fiber?  If my recollection is correct, I do
not believe Ray's daily menu journal came near 25 grams.  I know mine
doesn't , especially now that I'm limiting fruit & veggies and
increasing fat.  In another interesting book entitled Native Nutrition
by Ron Schmid, NA, he asserts that some hunter-gatherers  such as the
!Kung bushmen ate as much as 50 grams of fiber daily, well above U.S.
guidelines.  Can someone out there please comment?  I  know not to
believe most dietary advice dished out by the US govt, but I am
concerned about  the issue of colon cancer.
