Hi Christine,

I have often recommended that canned pumpkin be used to increase the fibre content of a diet. I was recently told by a board-certified nutritionist that the fibre content is actually quite low and that it shouldn’t be used for this. Despite that information, I’ve had many clients say that it was beneficial.

All the best,
