My brother was eating Froot Loops, and I was reading the nutrition label just outta curiousity... and it says like 42carbs, then 1g of sugars... then "Other Carbohydrates 38"

lol what's other carbohydrates?... I would think it would be 38grams of sugar.. I've never seen it listed on anything I eat..Which I'm sure is good.

Hi Slim:
Possibly the "other carbs" are starches and fiber. I was surprised that it's only 1 gram of sugars. And that only adds up to 39 of the 42 carbs they state. Wonder where the other 3 are?

If the 38 gm are starches, then they are probably wheat, corn and other grains which are quite high on the Glycemic Index.

My brother refers to those sugary cereals as "crispy, expensive air".
