In general, carbs / sugar paired with fiber are healthy. Sugar without fiber is unhealthy. Fiber is always healthy.

Fiber is indigestible, provides no nutritional value. It just passes through. The only thing its good for is being the scaffolding to make a nice turd.

No, fiber supports the microbiome in the gut, which is nowadays understood as being really important for overall health.
