The lab analysis proves the carb count *includes* fiber.

Look at the column for a 100g sample. Add together the mass in grams of protein (8.3), carbohydrates (5.8), total fat (4.4), water (80.6) and ash (0.9) and what number do you get? You get 100 g.

You can run everything else through all the hidden carb and other calculators and analyses in the world, but the fact is that simply adding together the mass of the components gives the total mass of the sample.

For 100g of their product, total carbs are 5.8g, fiber is 4.4g, net carbs are 1.4g. For a single serving, total carbs are 7.54g, fiber is 6.89g and net carbs are 0.65g.

The previous email cited is laughable. The person who wrote it quoted a person in the *purchasing* department. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't turn to an accountant or a bookkeeper or a clerk when I want information about how to understand a lab analysis. I have better credentials in chemistry than an accountant -- most of us here have credentials at least as good as an accountant.
