Summary

A study analyzing gut microbiomes of over 12,000 people across 45 countries found that higher fiber intake may promote beneficial bacteria (Faecalibacterium) that suppress harmful ones like E. coli.

These bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids, which are linked to better gut health.

While the study shows associations—not causation—experts emphasize fiber’s proven benefits for diabetes, weight control, and heart health.

Most Americans consume only 58% of the recommended daily fiber (30g). Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes are key sources for increasing fiber intake.

'Gladiator II' gets a Paramount+ streaming release date.

Having re-watched 30 Rock several times, it really stands out how much Jenna Maroney improves throughout the series. She is a one-note, generally uninteresting character in Season 1 and part of Season 2, to the point where she's barely mentioned in some episodes. She really doesn't have any significant stories for a long time. Eventually, as her character's career starts to take off, the show ramps her absurd character traits up to 11. By the end of the show, she goes from a side character to one of the most important parts of the show, hitting the emotional climax in the finale. She is a funhouse-mirror reflection of the Season 1 character and as Flanderized as any character on TV.

And it works. She is more fun, interesting, and ironically also developed and deeper. Most of the characters are Flanderized a little, but none develop as much as Jenna. Tracy is definitely a different character, but he was always ridiculous, while most of the rest of the cast are varying degrees of the same.

I don't know if I can think of a show that really pull this off so well. A lot of shows change or develop the characters as they progress, but the examples of good Flanderization are few and far between. You could probably make a case for Winston on New Girl.

Are there other good examples?
