SweetLeaf 100% Natural Stevia Sweetener Review

SweetLeaf 100% Natural Stevia Sweetener

I've tried many kinds and brands of stevia, and I have to say, this is absolutely THE BEST. It's easy to use it in any kind of recipe instead of sugar or other sweeteners: 1 pinch sweetens like 2 tsp of sugar. I use it in smoothies, cakes/muffins, homemade ketchup, custard, even sorbet. Not to mention is has inulin, which helps keeping your digestive tract in good shape. This is one of those things that's always good to keep in stock ;)

Benefiber Review

There are several ways to get enough fiber in your diet. The best, of course, is through your diet. This means more fruits and vegetables, and fewer fast foods and snack foods. The second is by using the 'bulking' fiber supplements that use the old standby, psyllium fiber. Psyllium fiber products such as Metamucil are effective, but many people don't like the gritty texture. After all, these products are ground-up seeds with the tiny seeds attached. The third way is to use a product such as Benefiber, which has a nice texture and dissolves almost completely in water or fruit juice, and is much easier to take/swallow.
I'd suggest starting out slowly, adding a bit of Benefiber to your morning orange juice. Add a bit more every day or every other day, so you body can adjust to the increased bulk in your digestive tract.
Our bodies were made to operate on a high-fiber diet. Native plants did not come as fruit leather or in popsicles. They came as whole fruits, fiber, vitamins and minerals and all of the other healthful products of raw fruits and vegetables.
I do eat a healthy diet, but I still use added fiber. Why? The bulking makes me more regular, healthy, and I feel better. I believe it helps regulate fat and cholesterol in my body as well. It helps mimic the diets we humans evolved with on our planet.
Recommended. I use this product all of the time. I still occasionally use the psyllium fiber products as well, just not as often since I've discovered Benefiber.

Metamucil MultiHealth Fiber Psyllium Fiber Capsules, 160-Count(Pack of 2) Review

Most of us don't get nearly enough fiber in our diet (usually from too much processed food and not enough fruits and vegetables), so we an extra push to help us make our push. Metamucil is a great helper when it comes to "working things out". These capsules are flavorless, easy to swallow, and convenient to store and carry. You can take a bottle to the office, or a few capsules with you in your pocket to take at meals, for example. As listed on the label, each "serving" is 6 capsules and gives you 11% (3g) of your recommended daily intake of fiber and adds 10 calories.
As good as Metamucil is, I do have a few beefs. I really don't like all the chemical additives. It is advertised as 100% pure psyllium husk, but it's not a 100% natural product. It contains polysorbate 80 (a preservative), and 3 FD&C dyes, a bit much for something that comes out the same color in the end. Polysorbate 80 is used to extend shelf-life and prolong storage, but the colorants serve no purpose, cosmetic or otherwise.
Secondly, the price is not very good. Lesser known brands/generics like Now Foods Psyllium Husk 500mg, 500 Capsules cost a lot less. At almost a third of the price ($.03/capsule), that's a huge savings. There shouldn't be any difference in effectiveness since the main ingredient is ground up seed husks from the psyllium plant (Plantago ovata, related to the common plantain weed that grows in many people's gardens). Fiber is fiber. It is indigestible to humans regardless of what company it comes from, so you're not getting any extra benefit out of paying more for one brand versus another. You're literally flushing money down the toilet.
