Carb Count on Australian food labels
I'm fairly new to serious low carbing and am curious about the count on labels. On Australian labels does the carbohydrate count include the fibre or not.
For example if a label states
30 g carbohdryate
6 g fibre
do I deduct the 6 from 30 giving a count of 24?
Also I have been looking at sugar free sweets and notice that under carbohydrate it says 0, however it then goes on to list a number of grams under something ending in ose (can't remember the exact word). I thought that words ending in 'ose' were sugar so should they be counted.
Thank you.
