I guess I find it odd that no one looked for this before now, but some food chemists finally decided to stop assuming that fiber is only consumed via plants, and checked out my cup of coffee for fiber. They found it!
“A “grande” (medium size) cup at Starbucks, for instance, is 473 milliliters (or 16 ounces) and could pack as much as three grams of fiber, about the same as a raw apple and 20 percent or more of the average American’s daily intake.”
I guess my body knows what it’s doing each morning when I crave massive amounts of the stuff.
