Greetings Dr. Feigenbaum Ana hope you’re well.
Should I be counting the grams of fiber only present in foods as a result of added sugar alcohols (sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol, etc.)?
My goal is to eat 40gr + of fiber per day, while keeping sugars at <35 gr/day (for improved lipidology). I’m able to comply with this by eating lots of whole grains, legumes, and fruits/veggies. However, I also eat a lot of foods sweetened artificially, and concerned that maybe I shouldn’t be considering these sugar alcohols in my daily fiber goal calculations??
Thanks as always!!
Stay safe.
