Fiber First: Whole-Plant Foods Beat Supplements for Gut Health

Gastroenterologists say most people should boost fiber mainly through a variety of fiber-rich plant foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds) to support the gut microbiome and reduce chronic-disease risk, with daily targets of 25 g for women and 38 g for men, though many Americans average about 15 g. Supplements like psyllium can help when diet alone falls short, but they provide a single type of fiber and don’t offer the wide range of nutrients found in whole foods.

The Supreme Court unanimously allowed a Texas couple to proceed in state court with their lawsuit accusing Whole Foods and Earth’s Best baby food of poisoning their son with heavy metals, reviving the case after prior dismissals and back-and-forth between state and federal courts.

Protein bars: convenient, not a substitute for real food, say nutrition experts

Experts say protein bars can be convenient when a meal isn’t possible, but they aren’t a health shortcut: many contain artificial ingredients and sugar alcohols, so choose bars with simple, recognizable ingredients and limit intake; for most people, meeting protein and fiber needs through whole foods is preferable to relying on bars.

The move follows years of experimentation and prior closures, including UK Fresh stores and Southern California locations, and reflects Amazon's ongoing effort since acquiring Whole Foods in 2017 to gain a bigger share of the grocery market; the cashierless Go tech has been dialed back and repurposed.
