Wow, this is a high fiber product!
- B.
This is a negative carb gram product with -3 grams net carb! I am really making a great choice here!

This product is bogus, I’ll send it off to MV so we can post it under “questionable products for MM/DM”
- 3.On a food label, all the carbohydrate grams listed under the term “total carb grams” are always listed in the dietary fiber grams, sugar grams, sugar alcohol grams that are subsets underneath total carb gram listing.
