I don't mean to be sarcastic in any way, just be careful next time. You want to keep the sugar and the carbs as low as possible, even the sodium, as that is salt, watch out for anything ending in the letters "ose" as that is a form of sugar also. Hope this helps. -------------- Peace on earth Ivan Montreal Canada
