FREE Benefiber Single Serving Sticks

I don't know how good of an idea a water bottle full of fiber in the middle of your work day is, but it is free so might as well try it. It says its totally tasteless and grit free so you can add it to any water or soft drink. Might be a great way to supplement your diet, who knows!

Fiber One Oats & Caramel Bar

Well you have to start somewhere, so how about here! I have to say this was pretty tasty. It has a very strong, rich caramel flavor with a hint of coffee. It boasts that it contains 35% of your daily fiber which is a nice bonus for such a great breakfast treat. What an ingredient list though, yikes.

The main ingredient is chicory root extract. Its not very often that the first ingredient listed is a flavor extract. I had to know a little bit more about what the heck chicory root extract is. Here are some fun (?) chicory root extract facts:

• Has a high inulin fiber content which is known to cause stomach cramps and gas. (fun!)
• In the United States chicory root is used as a substitute for coffee in prisons.
• Known for its toxicity to internal parasites.

I think it might be toxic to my entire digestive system as well. As I have been writing this, my stomach has been making odd sounds and I feel terrible. I am going to go ahead and never eat another one of these. Taste great but too much weird fiber for my liking.
