[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1547303"] Unfortunately, it is down to demand. It is not commonly known or understood that low carb is good for us - just look at how many people on this forum argue with their GPs about eating low carb. Therefore, only a few people want these low carb product. Therefore, there is no cost reduction due to mass production and mass distribution. A supermarket is far more likely to attract more customers (or customers who buy more) if they sell (and advertise) bottles of Coke at a lower price as a loss leader than selling low carb rye bread. Large food producers, food distributors and food sellers are businesses. Their shareholders invest in them to make money. Not to improve the health of a small number of people with diabetes who understand the value of low carb. I believe the root to low cost low carb products is to get the health benefits better understood which will attract more people which will make the supermarkets, etc sell more products which mean they can sell them at a cheaper price. My argument is not with food companies. [/QUOTE]
