You know I always wonder about the way they get the net carb numbers on those Atkins and other bars because they don't do the carbs minus the fiber formula. The Dreamfield website says that protected carbs are not like net carbs because they are looking at how these carb affect BG. The reason protected carbs aren't suppose to trigger an isulin release is because the carby starch has been modified (see last paragraph). They never say it's fewer carbs than the 40+ per package on their site though.

On another LC support website a woman said that her BG spikes when she eats this, so I'm hoping people here with a bg device will also post to help us see if this really does or doesn't work. It seems like another YMMV; like sf stuff that can set off an insulin release in one person and not another.

From their website:

Dreamfields "digestible carbs" are determined by a clinical method that measures the blood glucose response of the whole food to establish its glycemic load or content of digestible carbohydrates. This is unlike net carbs which is simply determined by estimating the digestibility of individual food components. The clinical testing is conducted at an independent clinical laboratory.
Protected carbohydrates or "resistant starch": These are carbohydrates that resist being digested particularly in the small intestine. When they cannot be digested in the small intestine, they pass to the colon where they perform as dietary fiber. They may occur naturally, be created by chemically modifying carbohydrates prior to ingestion or achieve resistance through properly formulated foods being processed by the body. Resistant starches occur naturally at various levels in many foods, like cooked and cooled potatoes, unmilled grains, seeds, legumes, bananas, and high amylase starches. Most resistant starches are produced by concentrating naturally resistant starches and/or by chemically modifying carbohydrates in order to produce a starch with low digestibility. Dreamfields creates protected carbohydrates without chemical modification by utilizing combinations of standard food ingredients to "protect" digestible carbohydrates from being broken down by digestive enzymes. Carbohydrates resistant to digestion have been shown in scientific study to help control blood glucose, blood cholesterol and blood triglyceride levels, normalize insulin levels, and help improve the health of the colon lining, thus reducing the potential for ulcers and inflammatory diseases of the large intestine.
