Carbolite bars: 12 carbs on label, but 0 "net" carbs??
I am so confused... the carbolite candy bars I bought say ZERO carbs. I don't understand how this can be when a little bar has 12 carbs on the label. I know we deduct fiber, but the cashier at the nutrition store said that they deducted the sugar alcohol and that's how they got the zero count.
So when something says "effective carbs" what exactly does this mean to us LC'ers?? Do we trust this? I really need to know how to do this since I may be sabotaging myself with a goodie here and there.
Thanks.
Donna
