Default New low carb labeling

Hi !

I'm still new with all this low carb stuff but I came across a very interesting article that you may be interested in too. It seems that some people are labeling low cal products one way and others - differently. Is everyone familiar with the fact that we can subtract the fiber grams from the total grams listed ? This is called Effective Carb Count (ECG). Okay - but did you know that you can also subtract the Sugar Alcohols, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate and the Glycerine grams ? It's all explained in this article. The address is store.yahoo.com/carbsmart/labelingfaq.html .

I hope you find this interesting too. Take care ! Denise

Hi Dnees,

I've always subtracted the fiber count from the total carbs, but I was not aware of the others. Thanks for the tip.
