Default Difference between US and UK WW?

Hi,

I've recently started the UK WW points program and we only measure
saturated fats and calories. Dietary Fibre isn't included at all.

Why is this?

cheers

We figure we are all lab rats and WW is just experimenting on us
differently in different areas to see what really works and what does
not.

That and food labeling requirements vary so that some info is not
available. I would have to guess that all of the various schemes
(Europe and Aust/NZ and others??? South American care to chime in
anywhere???) work because you are reducing overall calories or intake
no matter which system is used.
