Cookies and Acid Reflux: What You Need to Know
Baked Goods
The Verdict
Cookies are a very calorie-dense food with a high sugar load of 35.0g per 100g. The sugar-to-fibre ratio requires careful consideration for blood glucose management.
The Lab Report
Per 100g, Cookies deliver 5.2g protein, 23.0g fat (11.0g saturated), and 65.0g carbohydrates with 1.5g dietary fibre. Of the carbohydrates, 35.0g are sugars. The sugar content of 35.0g per 100g is significant and will produce a notable glycaemic response. Sodium content (355mg) is moderate and should be accounted for in daily intake tracking. Notable micronutrients include Iron (2.5mg).
The Safety Protocol
Saturated fat content (11.0g/100g) should be monitored within the context of daily limits (NHS recommends ≤20g/day for women, ≤30g/day for men).
