Low Carb Diets Low Carb Diets Getting Started Health and Nutrition Recipes From Laura Dolson, your Guide to Low Carb Diets  Have you ever wondered if so called "low-carb" packaged foods are really low in carbs, especially when they talk about "net carbs" and "special processes" to make it so that the carbs don't raise blood sugar?  You aren't alone!  There are many skeptical consumers out there like yourself, and some of them have taken matters into their own hands.  Last week there was an announcement Dreamfields Pasta has reached a settlement over a class action lawsuit filed last year, to the tune of $7.9 million dollars!  I hope this makes other companies making low-carb foods sit up and take notice, and make doubly sure that their claims are accurate.  Have a happy, healthy week-  Laura Dreamfield's Will Pay Consumers Large Settlement  "When it seems too good to be true, it probably is".  Although Dreamfields has not admitted any wrongdoing, it's settled the false advertising lawsuit for a lot of money.
