PLEASE do not drink this thinking it’s healthy. Come on …
Soluble corn fiber” is basically a lab-processed fiber ingredient made from corn starch. Companies use it because it’s cheap, slightly sweet, easy to add to drinks, and lets them slap words like “prebiotic” and “gut healthy” on the label.
Adding fiber doesn’t suddenly cancel out the cane sugar, caramel coloring, phosphoric acid, caffeine, and processed additives surrounding it.
It’s like sprinkling kale powder on a donut and calling it metabolic medicine.
And unlike getting fiber from real foods (beans, berries, vegetables, nuts, seeds, etc) the isolated industrial version doesn’t come packaged with polyphenols, micronutrients, water, or the thousands of compounds that actually support a healthy microbiome.
We’ve become so disconnected from real food that companies can add one engineered ingredient to soda and convince people it belongs in the wellness aisle.
