Hi Marcella,
They do not "pass through" for all people
Example: If you follow a strict induction at 20 grams of carbs a day only eating green veggies, and then another week eating 20 grams of LC bars, counting each bar as 2 grams only, you will most likely stall and not lose as much.
So I guess the truth of the matter, if it has 20 grams of carbs, and only 2 grams of "net carbs", the actual carb count is anywhere between 2 and 20 depending on how your metabolise sugar alcohol, glycerine.
Most likely, those of us who have a weight problem to start with, will absorb most of the carbs, making the carb count closer to 20 than 2.
Wa'il
