Like 16 g for just 1 of them... and, I don't have blood sugar issues or anything and I know it isn't a processed sugar by any means, but it is interesting they help with cholesterol. It def. has to be the fiber as I know a low fat diet and 25 g of fiber a day is the key to getting it down (unless your genetics really suck). I read a lot of nutritional stuff for fun, so I geek out on this stuff. Ha, ha!! I am glad you got yours down, that is amazing! My husband just got put on drugs for his last year and so we've been trying to do a low fat diet for him (16 g or less of sat fat a day). Fun stuff with getting older (not!).<br /><br />Carrie<br />curlycraftymom.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162841902328353969.post-53387210277025730622023-02-15T14:50:03.287-05:002023-02-15T14:50:03.287-05:00Dates are the best!
