Carbscam
To mislead public, advertisers use terms like Net-carb or non-impact carbohydrates.
They claim that net-carb is obtained by subtracting number of carbs present in a particular food from the carbs from artificial sweeteners and fiber.
They claim that fiber and sugar alcohol are not counted as carbs because they pass through the intestinal tract without being absorbed and they do not increase the appetite.
However, sugar alcohol is a sweetening agent that adds texture and taste to the food.
It is in-fact a carbohydrate and converts to glucose in the blood stream. Fat is released through fat cells even if there is a slight increase in blood insulin level. There is no evidence that low net-carbs help people to lose weight.
Counting carbs (whether real carbs or net-carbs) is not an accurate measure of weight loss or weight gain.
The total number of calories consumed daily is rightful method.
So when you shop for foods, it is better to forget counting carbs or worrying about net-carbs. Choose healthy foods that are low in calories and fat, and contain moderate amounts of complex carbohydrates (fiber). Do not waste time scanning net-carbs on food labels. |
