Not all fiber is created equal 👇👇👇
The magic ingredient is modified wheat starch, which is real wheat starch, chemically cross-linked so your gut enzymes can’t unlock it. Undigested = barely any calories = it counts as “fiber” on the label.
And it does some fiber things. It adds bulk. It keeps you regular. It blunts your blood sugar. It’s not a scam.
But it’s not the same fiber as an apple.
The fiber in fruit gets fermented by your gut bacteria. That’s what feeds your microbiome and makes the good stuff your colon actually runs on.
Modified wheat starch mostly just… passes through. It’s built to resist being broken down. Your bacteria have a hard time with it too.
So no, it’s not bad for you. Eat the bread. It’s a smart swap that I take advantage of a lot during my cut.
Just don’t let 12g of label fiber convince you you’re good on fiber. It’s not replacing the berries. It’s not replacing the beans, the oats, or the squash.
Use this power wisely 🍎
