I understand that celluose -main component of dietary fibre, being a polysaccharide and technically a carbohydrate, is counted as a carbohydrate in US food labelling - by as simple fibre in Europe.
Given that leaving fibre out of a diet might well be less than desireable could this potential confusion be part of why "low carb" diets are not receiving "official" recognition ?
