I am fascinated by this stuff I am learning in my new book. It is like a light coming on about what is in those food labels and on the packaging. Really interesting.

One thing I just learned was that when you read the label, look at the total carbs and subtract the total grams of sugar. The product with this highest number is the best choice. For example:

Cereal #1
20 grams carbs
3 grams of sugar
------------------
17 grams difference

Cereal #2
20 grams carbs
13 grams of sugar
------------------
7 grams difference

The Cereal #1 is the best choice. Make sense?

If anyone wants to know more about this stuff let me know.
