[QUOTE="Deleted member 527103, post: 2726995"] Confusingly, if you are reading nutritional information on labels in the [B]UK[/B], the fibre is [B]already [/B]deducted. If you are looking up the nutritional content on a [B]US[/B]-based internet site, the fiber has NOT been deducted and you need to do so yourself. The hint is in the spelling - in the UK, we spell it as fib[B][U]re[/U][/B] and this has been excluded from the total carbs. So you can ignore fibre. -in the US, it is spelt as fib[B][U]re[/U][/B] and this is included in the total carbs so you must deduct it. Think Like a Pancreas is often recommended but we need to remember that the author is American. I agree, it is a minefield of little tips like this to remember. [/QUOTE]
