 Simple biology lesson: humans naturally have a lot of protease enzymes to aid protein digestion. Humans do not possess cellulase to break down plant cell walls. Intestinal bacteria in humans can ferment plant cell walls in order to utilise those components. Message of lesson. Eat meat with a bit of veg and minimise antibiotic intake.
