Dreamfields Pasta

[talynn]

Is anyone familiar with this stuff?

Here's the website for reference: http://www.dreamfieldsfoods.com/index.php
(I don't know how to make a link - just copy and paste if you want )

I heard it was "low-carb" pasta, but it has a ton of carbs on the nutrition label. Then I found this on their FAQs:

Why do you say that Dreamfields Pasta only has 5 grams of digestible carbs when the nutrition label states that it has 41 grams of carbohydrates?


While the total number of carbohydrates is the same as traditional pasta, our patent-pending formula and unique manufacturing process protects all but 5 grams of carbohydrates from being digested. The Dreamfields fiber and protein blend creates a protective barrier to reduce starch digestion in the small intestine. The unabsorbed, or protected carbohydrates then pass to the colon where they are fermented, providing the same health benefits as fiber.

Wut? Is this a total load of hooey? What should I think about this? Any ideas? Thanks so much for any response - I know I've been posting a ton today. Also, I hope this is the right forum for this - if not, I'll be happy to move it.

I never heard of dreamfield pasta. Personally, I would leave off everything with flour because I can't eat it. If I do I get hives so bad that I have to go get a steroid shot. I am never tempted by it and to be on the safe side, I leave off all grains.
