Was thinking about getting Metamucil to increase fiber. But 2 TSPs has 21% of your daily value of fiber and 36% of your sugar DV. That's about 1.5 Krispys Kreme of sugar to get 21% of your daily fiber. What is this fraudlies?

Putting aside the semantic point about fraudlies "added" sugar, what's up with Metamucil delivering almost 3x more sugar than fiber? Unless you're getting no dietary fiber at all, you're probably better off without Metamucil coming in and pumping you up with sugar.

it is to make it palatable. that amount isn't going to kill you, and there are versions available without it if you prefer. since you were concerned about DVs, you'll note it is only 8% of the DV for sugar.
