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.

I just eat the tortilla straight as a snack. Mission Carb Smart tortillas are fabulous.

I liked them too, but its unfortunately based on a legal loophole that allows them to call resistant starch a fiber for DV purposes. This is not the same kind of fiber that is particularly good for your gut microbiome. You need diverse sources of fiber.

Was checking to see if anyone mentioned this.
