Lee, you can't subtract the carbs from the label when they're not listed. The front of the Carbolite packaging says in big bold letters, "ZERO CARBS". The nutritional information panel lists 0.4 carbs. Now how can you subtract the 20 grams of carb from sugar alcohols from that if the manufacturer has intentionally omitted them from the total carb count? It's deceptive and misleading.

So while it's certainly useful to check the hidden carbs, that doesn't mean it's an illegal food. You must see how well you can handle the particular food in question.

For heaven's sake Lee, I said the very same thing. Go back and read. |
