Re: As with most diets.......

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

From 's link. Does anyone think this is correct?

NPD Group (or the author of the piece, whoever that is) appears to

believe that " ........ Refined carbohydrates are total carbs minus

dietary fiber ....... " .

So by this definition ANY carbs that the intestine ABSORBS are

defined as being refined????? (Since 'dietary fiber', as I

understand it, is defined as carbohydrates that are not absorbed).

Is it me that is out to lunch here?

This may be the explanation: " The NPD Group provides sales and

marketing information for helping our clients understand their

markets and optimize their business " .

If they are right then all the calories anyone ever consumes from

carbohydrates are 'refined'. So if one believes that one should

avoid refined carbohydrates', one should avoid ALL carbohydrates?????
