Seems the Atkins website is being re-vamped. I found some intersting info there regarding net carbs:
"Atkins science allows us to calculate Net Carbs in our products more accurately. In addition to subtracting grams of dietary fiber from total carbohydrates, we're able to account for glycerin and other ingredients that have minimal impact on blood sugar levels that might not show up on a standard food label. We can also check Net Carbs using analytical techniques. But, whats important for you to know is all Atkins bars and shakes are low in Net Carbs."
Quite interesting huh? Sounds to me like Atkins Nutritionals has felt the need to cover their butts since the labeling on the bars state 0 grams sugar alcohol...yet they contain Glycerine...which IS a sugar alcohol. They've gone as far as saying "minimal impact on blood sugar levels"...interesting isn't it? MINIMAL does not mean NO impact, it means little impact! And as far as "other ingredients"....the bars state on the label they contain soy, milk & peanuts (none of these are on the acceptable foods list!)...yet, the label also says "appropriate for Induction"...am I missing something here???
Their website may be new...but...their tactics to sell these non-Induction suitable products is still the same!
