There's a disagreement going down on this subreddit thread as to whether the sentence is grammatically correct. It's taken from a cereal ad:

The argument is:

"The fibre in Sultana Bran help us feel fuller"

is grammatically incorrect and should be

"The fibre in Sultana Bran helps us feel fuller"

Fibre is referring to an abstract amount of multiple or uncountable fibres, so it's fine to refer to it as just fibre. Assuming this, we can say:

"They help us feel fuller"

This sounds correct and is what the original sentence follows. If we follow the argument people are making, it doesn't make sense

"They helps us"

Am I wrong here?
