I burn some obscene amount of calories biking each week, yet I take in nowhere even close to that amount of calories in carbs. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |

Wonder if that means *all* carbs including the swell indigestible fiber from veggies? It begins to make sense then. But just begins. Pastorio |
