You make an interesting point: fiber shows up in the labels as a
subset of carbohydrate. I remember when hi-fiber was trendy, and
manufacturers were adding "fiber" to foods. Some of foods which you
wouldn't expect to have fiber, like vanilla ice cream. I have NO idea
what they added, and I think I'm better off in ignorance. Judy Gee
