Fiber Supplements vs. Whole Foods: Getting Enough Fiber


Question
Hi. I was wondering if taking a product like Benefiber is really equal to eating foods that are rich in fiber? Are people actually getting the recommended daily dose of fiber with supplements? Thanks!

Answer
Benefiber is a good product, but, as with all, it is hard to get enough fiber in our diets no matter what we do.  So, use the Benefiber, but I would chase it with a couple of metamucil capsules twice a day.

Hope this helps...

The answer to the second question is no.... nobody gets enough fiber in this country!!
