Question Question for BIZI

Dear Bizi,

i wonder do you have a source you could point me to that explains the bit about subtracting fiber grams from carb grams?

i am aware fiber absorbs some fat, which then gets eliminated rather than metabolized/absorbed by our body. however, i was not aware the relationship was 1:1 as you indicate above. i also thought it varied with the type of fiber.

thanks in advance. i am curious about these things.
