So…is it cool if I get all my daily fiber from cookies?
. The foundational link this research has established is between good health and intrinsic fiber, i.e. fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans—not fiber in isolation. The plant foods that naturally contain fiber happen to be exceptionally healthy in general, so it’s hard to suss out what exact benefits can be chocked up to fiber specifically .
“Where we’re getting that fiber recommendation is not just from fiber itself—it’s based off consumption of fruits and vegetables and whole grains,” Tewksbury explains. That’s why thespecifically state that low fiber intake is due to low intakes of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and encourage people to eat more of them to increase their fiber intake—not more cookies and bars containing added fiber.
The good news is that stomach distress is probably the worst thing that will happen to you . It’s pretty impossible to “overdose” on fiber, Dr. Ford says, since it doesn’t get absorbed into your bloodstream. In fact, there is no “Tolerable Upper Limit” for fiber, according to the , meaning research hasn’t revealed a level of fiber that is shown to have significant negative health effects on either mineral levels or GI functioning.It’s pretty freaking cool that we can get a fiber boost from something that tastes like dessert, but you probably shouldn’t be relying on fiber-enriched processed foods for the majority of your daily intake.
Just keep in mind that as tasty and welcome as these foods are in your diet, if you’re trying to eat more fiber to improve the overall nutritional quality of your diet, it’s best to primarily rely on whole foods to help you get there, Dr. Ford says. In other words, don’t assume a food high in fiber is always the more healthful choice—and probably don’t start swapping out all your fruits, veggies, whole grains, and beans for added-fiber brownies.
