LOL! Good one, Dean.

Is he stating that dietary fiber should count as carbs? I thought dietary fiber was the indigestible stuff. If you can't digest it, how can your body make glucose from it?

As far as sugar alcohols are concerned... ask the diabetics. They've been using them for many years. They take blood readings all the time. If it doesn't raise their blood sugar levels, it won't raise ours either.

Then the question I have is if you have glucose in your blood, you don't have ketones in your blood/urine, right? Since presumably your body would be burning the glucose rather than fat, which creates the ketones. I'm no expert, correct me if I'm wrong.

So, if I am right, the proof is in the pee, is it not? Easy enough to see if the book doctor guy is right.
