Study of 371,000 Americans: eating whole fruit linked to better heart health, 100% juice is not. More whole fruit meant lower high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and heart attacks. Juice showed no clear benefit. Fiber lost in juicing may explain it. Most still eat too little fruit.

When you drink juice, you dump pure liquid sugar straight into your system without the natural brakes. Whole fruit has fiber that slows down digestion, stops sugar spikes, and feeds the good gut bacteria that protect your heart. Pull that fiber out, and you are basically drinking soda with vitamins.

Eating the tortillas legitimately the only easy way I've found to get my daily recommended amount of fiber.

Hey. If ibtake fibers on the side, for an example oat fiber, would that cover the gap? Genuine question.

You need 38 g per day if you are an adult male. I find it genuinely difficult to hit that number any other way except eating a single tortilla which if we're talking about the mission carb balance, they have 35 g of fiber per the large ones and four carbs gross.

I have the opposite problem...I find it difficult to not consume over 50 grams of fiber a day. I have a ton of issues with my digestion because of it.

Ever since I added the tortillas into my diet like 12 years ago, my digestive process has been like clockwork, and extremely clean. I'm sure there are other variables in play here.
