About this episode
Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Carpe DM Pasta, the wheat-based pasta alternative that promises 55% less net carbs and a whopping 24 grams of fiber per serving. With modified wheat starch as the fiber source and backing from General Mills, this pasta raises intriguing questions. Could those 24 grams of fiber, still trigger unexpected blood sugar responses? What about wheat sensitivity concerns, even with European-style semolina? And are you missing crucial micronutrients when your fiber comes from grains instead of vegetables? Jenn breaks down whether this high-fiber alternative is truly a win for your health goals or just another processed food in disguise. Like what you're hearing?
