What do I follow

Saw this Keto brownie mix, says each serving has 1 carb, on the panel it’s says 12 carbs at the bottom it does a mathematical equation, no I’m confused, how many carbs does this have

Hmmm. Could be wrong but I think polyols are carbs that we can't digest. The equation takes the total carbs per portion and subtracts the carbs that we won't absorb.

Thanks, reason I was confused is other people have said things like carbs minus fiber (American spelling ) is calculated different in uk and that you go by carbs before minus. So with this I assume I would go by 1carb

i was confused about that too.

Polyols are indigestible carbs. They are sugar alcohols with a fancy name. Lactulose is one - you may recognise this as a constipation cure. They do add sweetness, but they will also add to your Andrex bill.

They should change the name from Keto Brownies by changing the K to an Sh to give you a hint as to their effect.

The 1 carb claim is true, for what it's worth.

Hahaha well combined with the metformin I’m gonna have the cleanest colon around, thanks for the info

It has 12g carbs, 11g of them can have laxative effects and are unlikely to do much to your blood sugar, and the other 1g would raise blood sugar, but not noticeably since it’s only 1g

Oh - polyols, aka sugar alcohols.
Never again.
Humans cannot digest them, but the gut flora and fauna can, and they had a party and I thought I was going to become Geography any minute.
