Is this new fiber gummy study legit or just marketing?
Just saw a study about inulin in fiber gummies helping with gut health. seems too good to be true? anyone else see it? https://example.com/study123
I'm in med school, so I read the actual paper. It's a small pilot, but the results are promising. However, it was funded by a gummy company, so def take it with a grain of salt. Always check funding sources!
Yeah, funding bias is real! But inulin has solid evidence for being a prebiotic. The link you shared is a news article, not the peer-reviewed paper. Always go to the primary source, even if it's behind a paywall.
Thanks for the tips! So should I just eat more fiber rich foods instead of gummies? My kids love the taste though.
Haha, gummies are more fun, but whole foods have more fiber and nutrients. If you do gummies, look for third-party testing and minimal added sugar. Balance is key!
