Hormonal & Metabolic Impact
🧬 Fiber → Estrogen, Insulin (9% DV)
Binds excess estrogen in gut for excretion (enterohepatic circulation interruption). Slows glucose absorption → lower insulin spikes.
🧬 Sugar → Insulin, Cortisol (19% DV)
Rapid blood sugar spikes → insulin surges → cellular insulin resistance over time. High sugar intake correlates with elevated cortisol.
