A hidden sugar source in ketchup, salad dressing, and toothpaste
It turns out those cellulose-based thickening agents found in common foods can be digested. Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that our gut bacteria can feed on these large molecules — something thought to not be possible — thanks to enzymes that normally help us break down dietary fiber. “Researchers assumed that…
