I also think that industry pumps alot of fiber in the form of chicory root or other things into processed food products, so like you said...these aren't as great as eating whole foods. I think we as RDs have to be diligent in reminding people that food quality matters, too.

They think that by eating "brown" bread or eating 19 Grain bread is going to cut it - um, no! I agree that we definitely need to move more toward whole, real foods and away from the junk food (poser foods) that incorporate a tiny amount of whole grains but pretend their healthy. I could go on all day about whole grains in particular. Anyway, this is such a rich topic, so thanks for bringing it to our attention!Jessiehttp://thehappinessinhealth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339763320840481095.post-16831249171666769502010-11-20T01:55:25.157+09:002010-11-20T01:55:25.157+09:00Great post.

Healthful dessert is an oxymoron. What I do is make them slightly less harmful. Desserts should be eaten with moderation. Adding lots of fiber to sugar does not make sugar good for you.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441108568751750583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339763320840481095.post-17725906071544760212010-11-19T23:48:20.388+09:002010-11-19T23:48:20.388+09:00Great post Melinda.

I am also sick of people taking fiber supplements for their daily intake of fiber. It's just so sad to me. The food companies are ruining the healthy concept of whole grains. UGH, and they are getting away with it!Gina; The Candid RDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034788087113648183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339763320840481095.post-68701338954537454412010-11-19T17:15:45.119+09:002010-11-19T17:15:45.119+09:00Question: if you're on a low-carb diet, is it ...Question: if you're on a low-carb diet, is it easy to get constipation?

I agree, adding fiber to a bunch of highly processed foods should not be the (only) way to get people to eat more fiber.<br /><br />I try to get my fiber through vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. I tracked my fiber intake a while back, and I know I'm getting enough. But there was time when I ate too many processed foods and not enough whole grains and veggies, and my intake was too low. I still ate fruits and vegetables, but it really wasn't enough...Andrea@WellnessNoteshttp://www.andreaswellnessnotes.comnoreply@blogger.com
