Flavorful Fiber!
Welch's Introduces New 100% Grape Juice with Fiber
CONCORD, MASS., March 16, 2007 — While recommendations for total fiber intake generally range from 20-35 grams per day, most Americans are falling far short of those recommendations. Some find it challenging to eat the foods necessary to meet the recommended daily amount of fiber, or are often unaware of which foods offer good sources of fiber. Others don't like the grittiness or thickness that some fiber supplements add to their favorite foods. However, now there's a great-tasting, convenient way to add more fiber to the diet and help reach daily fiber recommendations: Welch's 100% Grape Juice with Fiber! New Welch's 100% Grape Juice with Fiber offers a good source of fiber, with 3 grams of soluble fiber or 10 percent of the Daily Value in each eight ounce serving. It has the same great taste as Welch's "original" 100% Grape Juice, as well as the same abundance of natural protective antioxidants. Now there's a Welch's Grape Juice that provides heart healthy benefits and the benefit of added fiber for a healthy digestive system.
