i'm no dietician but does indigestable fiber even provide the same benefits as digestible fiber?

...goes n looks...

Cellulose may not be digestible by humans, but it serves as a vital food source for the beneficial bacteria in our gut. These bacteria break down cellulose and, in the process, produce short-chain fatty acids that are beneficial for gut health.

huh. well I'll be. we do get something out of cellulose after all. i wonder if you have to cultivate this particular gut flora or if other fiber eaters cover cellulose too (not that Americans can easily avoid it)?
