Mikulich says consumers are being misled by the Atkins Diet carb craze and they don't typically read the nutritional information on the back of the product.

This may be true for a lot of folks who see the words "low carb" and assume that all must be well.
There are a lot of us, though, who DO read the labels. What they don't get is that I'm not looking at the percentage of calories from fat but rather whether or not the product contains hydrogenated oils and added sugars such as high fructose corn syrup. Forget reading the nutritional information...read the ingredients!
