Fiber From Inulin
Inulin is a carbohydrate that is isolated from chicory root; considered fiber because it’s poorly digested. There is where the similarity between high fiber and inulin ends.
At this time there is no evidence that inulin will reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes or constipation as well as the fiber in whole grains.
Whole wheat should be the first ingredient listed with 3 to 5 grams fiber per serving.
Suggestion
Try a bowl of shredded wheat, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, add your favorite fruit. Mix 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract to 1 cup milk (your choice) and pour over cereal, sweeten with stevia.
Stevia is an herb used as a sweetener; there are no calories in stevia and it is safe for diabetics. Found in health food stores and now sold in many grocery stores.
