[QUOTE="Salvia, post: 1365356, member: 278312"] (my bold) This is the sort of comment that really annoys me. I have seen such behaviour previously in other "official" comments, where the subject is the role of carbohydrates, but then in their reply / comment / defence arguments, they subtly (or not so subtly) change the subject to fibre - as if that then justifies the whole of their comments & their attitude to low carb eating. And of course, the low carb supporters will often agree with whatever the statement is about [I]fibre[/I] - at which point, they can then say: see - yaa, boo, sucks, told you so!! In the UK, carbohydrates and fibre are treated separately on any food labelling, and fibre is not included in calculations of total carbs (sugar[I] is[/I] included). (I gather fibre is included in total carbs in USA & maybe elsewhere, but we're talking UK here). [/QUOTE]
