Dreamfield's Pasta - protected carbs???

[WhiteHulk4]

Does anyone know about this stuff?  It says that:

* Only 5 grams of digestible carbs per serving
* 65% lower glycemic index than regular pasta
* Twice the fiber of regular pasta
* Naturally cholesterol free
* 0 grams of trans fat

Dreamfields Carb Facts:
Total Carbs: 42 g
Protected Carbs*: -37 g
Digestible Carbs: 5 g
* Carbohydrates that are "protected" from digestion in small intestine.

What in the F#CK is a "protected carb"  Here's the ingredient list (which seems to be roughly the same as normal pasta):

Ingredients: Enriched semolina, [semolina, iron (ferrous sulfate), and B vitamins (niacin, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid)], fiber blend (inulin, guar gum, xanthan gum, carrageenan, pectin), sorbitol, wheat gluten, potassium chloride.

I'd stay away from that wheat gluten

Try Barilla Plus products which make pastas with complete proteins in them as well as a high fiber content.  The taste isn't bad (I even have my kids eating them).

Agreed. It's good stuff, my wife even eats it & she's really picky.
