Default Re: Question about "Digestible" carbs (avocado specifically)...

sweeeeeeeeeet! I really need to seriously get through the entire book!

My other question is - for example - when I see nutritional facts for something such as Dreamfields pasta - the site (Dreamfields Pasta, Premium pasta made healthy) says,

Carbohydrate Facts
Total Carbs: 41 g carbs
Fiber: 5 g carbs
Protected Carbs: 31 g carbs
41 g
-5 g
-31 g
Digestible Carbs*: 5 g

Count 5 grams of carbohydrates per each
56 g serving when controlling carbohydrate
intake and blood sugar levels to promote good
health and weight control. Dreamfields offers
significant health benefits, and has been
clinically tested to establish digestible
carbohydrate levels.


What does "protected carbs" mean? Is that pasta seriously only 5 grams of carbs that we'd have to count?
