Fiber slows down the absorbtion of carbs so supposedly you take the number of grams of carbs subtract the grams of fiber and arrive at an ECC-this means "Effective Carbohydrate Count" - this from "Protein Power" book. I don't know why the books vary so much, but I did notice that in the Protein Power gram counter, California Avacados and Florida Avacados had different number of grams, so perhaps it is variety or size related? Maybe they grow larger in different areas, causing more carbs in one vs the other? So, At Wed, 7 Jun 2000, Steph wrote: >
