I just realized that I didn't post my ORIGINAL email to Best Breads... in case you're interested, here it is:

"I am wondering if you carry or make any low carb breads? There is a HUGE untapped market here in the lower mainland for them.

I believe Food For Life [NB Best Breads *already* buys breads from Food for Life - specifically their gluten-free and "sprouted" varieties ] - makes two low carb breads (http://www.food-for-life.com/summary.asp?cat=26) and also Nature's Own Reduced Carbohydrate Premium Wheat (http://www.naturesownbread.com).

Then, there are some Canadian bakeries that have developed their own, such as Lakeview Bakery in Calgary (http://www.organicbaking.com). They had this to say recently about their Low Carb bread:

"Yes, we have just developed a high protein/low carb bread with NET CARBs of 3 grams of carbs per 28 gr slice. Total carbs =7 gr - 4 gr of fiber = 3 gr net carbs. It contains water, High protein flour, wheat gluten, wheat bran, defatted soya flour, roasted pea flour, sea salt, yeast, natural enzymes and sunflower oil (NO SUGAR). It has a good flavour and we are having a hard time keeping up with demand. This week we made 250 loaves and this is only the 3 rd week of production."

Hoping that you have (or will soon have) good news for me - I can spread the word really fast on the various mail lists and computer forums I'm registered with."

So, the tone of my original email was extremely helpful - I pointed out 2 potential sources of low carb bread for them to resell (one of which they already deal with) and gave him contact info for another Canadian baker who has developed his own bread - a list of ingredients FOR that bread AND a clue as to how well a bread of their own might sell... Gawd, I'm offended at the response I got!
