I have always used Dreamfields pasta - I really like botht he texture and the flavor. Also - it cooks upi very quickly. The whole wheat pasta's do not taste quite right to me for some reason.
I think just as with anything though - it is moderation!

They claim to have had it tested by an independent laboratory and blood glucose level tests have said it's right...they explain it like this on their website "Why do you say that Dreamfields Pasta only has 5 grams of digestible carbs when the nutrition label states that it has 42 grams of carbohydrates? While the total number of carbohydrates is the same as regular 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 health benefits like fiber. " www.dreamfieldsfoods.com/pasta-nutrition.html#sec1q2
I stick to whole wheat blend pasta, myself.

I'm no expert on the nutritional details of Dreamfields, but I do eat it on a very regular basis. Pasta is my biggest weakness- and when I eat pasta I like to have a big, huge plate of it. I had tried Dreamfields after reading about it online, and I really like it. I read online somewhere that your body absorbs 130 calories per serving from Dreamfields even though the label says it is more than that. I think I do believe their claims because when I eat Dreamfields I don't get that tired, almost drugged feeling I get when I eat a large plate of regular pasta.

i've seen a lot of stuff about this with conflicting results like a delayed spike in blood sugar while the label touts otherwise. i have it sitting in my cabinet and have tried it once, but i feel that it's too good to be true... i can't seem to wrap my brain around the path they take to get 5 "absorbable" carbs or whatever, when the carbs minus fiber is definitely not 5. i guess i've been raised to be a skeptic and live by the phrase 'if it's too good to be true, it probably is' ...but i want it to be true so bad this time!
anyone had any experience with this? i've done a board search and came up with nothing.
