Has anyone heard of this site?

If so...have you tried any of these no carb noodles and pasta? Or, do you know of anyone who has? Some very interesting reading there, that is for sure. Look at this:


Konjac wet foods was made by nature soluble fiber - glucomannan and water, is very low carb and very low glycemic nature food, which contain about 96% water and 4% soluble fiber. Konjac wet foods can be made into many different styles and shapes such as noodles, all kinds pasta.

Konjac wet foods is traditional Japanese foods called shirataki noodles or konnyaku.
Konjac foods, translucent and gelatinous, have no discernable taste but absorb the dominant flavors of the soup or dish to which they're added. Konjac foods have no flavors but absorb any they're with, like tofu will blend wonderfully and absorb flavors. They're supposed to absorb tastes of sauces as well.

Konjac foods are white in color, almost transparent and gelatinous, and package with water filled plastic bags. They consist primarily of a glucomannan soluble fiber, and are very low glycemic, and therefore especially good for people with diabetes.


Water-soluble fiber appears to have a greater potential to reduce postprandial blood glucose, insulin, and serum lipid levels than insoluble fiber. Viscosity of the dietary fiber is important; the greater the viscosity, the greater the effect."

The konjac glucomanann is the most viscosity soluble fiber in the nature.

The konjac foods are made of glucomannan soluble fiber, purified water and calcium hydroxide.
You can also make the konjac foods by yourself.

Konjac foods very much like Chinese glass noodles (cellophane or bean thread noodles) in taste and texture but they have almost no calories. The konjac foods are bouncy, chewy and sort of see through white.
