I think the point here is that companies are slapping "LC" on their labels and assume that none of us give a hoot about anything but the carb count. Trusting consumers we are, we assume that they'd give us a quality product that aligns itself with the concepts behind LCing.

And talk about reinventing the wheel. I can understand making an alternative ketchup or steak sauce, which is usually sweet. But Carb Options (I think that's the brand) Alfredo sauce? That cracks me up. They want $5 a jar for it.

Moral of the story: regarding trace sugars and hydrogenated fats, decide for yourself what you are and aren't willing to eat, then read labels and see if a product fits into that. Trust the greedy processed food companies about as far as you'd throw them and don't let them dictate what's "okay".
