Analyzing Fiber Patterns of the Hadza
So the Hadza don’t really eat any fiber, but they do drink 2-3L of fermented milk. They eat loads of saturated fat, yet have very low chronic disease. They don’t have much CVD, but they do have measured plaque buildup.
Fermented milk contains SCFA which is acetate dominant.
It is hard to determine an exact “fiber equivalent” since it’s all exogenous.
1g of fermentable fiber yields 0.6g of SCFA. 3L of fermented milk would yield about 3.2-4.0g of “type 3” fiber, but yields mostly acetate.
The remainder of their SCFAs likely come from mucin which would be about 10mmol of butyrate.
So very little butyrate, very little acetate, little to know propionate.
