Is anyone who pays to read the Mail Online feeling generous?

There is an article behind the paywall in today's Mail that I am interested in.

It is by Tim Spectre and is about bowel cancer and the "vital nutrient that slashes risks".

Would anyone be good enough to share what this vital nutrient is please?

The Mail has had pages and pages of free content from Mumsnet over the years, so I don't think this is a dodgy request in any way.

I don't have a subscription but when I click on a paid article, if I quickly put my phone on plane mode it will load the article before the paywall comes up so I can read it.

If you have an iPhone you can switch it to Reader mode and it’ll open up

It's Fibre
Fibre is a form of carbohydrate – a nutrient that provides the body with energy – found naturally in plants.
Unlike other carbohydrates, like sugar and starch, fibre is not easily digested and absorbed by the body. This means the body can’t break it down into energy, which is where our gut microbes come into their own, because they can break down fibre to make helpful byproducts.
There are many different forms of fibre found in a variety of foods including wholegrain breakfast cereals, beans and pulses, nuts and seeds, dried fruits, wholewheat pasta, wholegrain bread and potatoes with the skin left on.
Yet despite the seeming abundance of foods containing fibre, a worrying number of Britons are dangerously deficient in the nutrient.
Adults should be consuming around 30 grams of fibre a day. How people reach this goal is up to them. But it could be achieved by eating a combination of a few portions of fruit and vegetables, a slice of brown bread, a handful of oats, some nuts and seeds and a cup of lentils.
However, fewer than one in ten Britons hit this daily target. Instead, the average person gets around 20 grams a day.
This is a modern medical problem. The diets of our distant ancestors contained a variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and pulses.

So sorry @Seacatt - where are my manners? I forgot about this thread. Thank you for the reply .
