Question:

— Michael Baun
Answer:
There's a lot of science that goes into that. And I think if you actually, you'd have to Google that. I, I took that in class about 30 years ago and I don't remember how it is. Uh, but they most likely, they're definitely looking at science and they look at health versus different fiber intakes. So there's a lot of epidemiological studies and um, there are life stage, I said the 25 and the 38 for males and females. But if you're older, there's a different level. You're younger, there's a, a, a lower level as well. So you need to look it up for your age and gender.
