Talking about poop may be something you used to giggle about (or maybe you still do), but constipation is no joke. The National Institutes of Health estimates that 16% of Americans are constipated, but about 1 in 3 Americans experience the not-so-fun symptoms.

For years Whole Foods has been criticized, and even mocked as “Whole Paycheck,” for its pricey organic offerings, briefly spotlighted by the ridiculous asparagus water incident.

Not only is it great for keeping your appetite-and your weight-in check, fiber has loads of other health benefits....
