It might have been this[0] Swedish article that got me looking in to this some years back.

Here’s some more data[1].

You can quite easily find more research.

It’s clear to me that the science is inconclusive regarding benefits, at best.

We’ve evolved by eating and having complex processes take place inside our bodies to break down the food.

My personal take is that these processes in them selves can be important, and bypassing them doesn’t necessarily have positive outcomes.
