What does low carb really mean in foods today
The piece surveys how low carbohydrate labeling lacks strict standards, noting minimal regulations for terms like low and reduced. It outlines current definitions used by the industry, the role of resistant starch and sugar alcohols, and how breads and pastas replace digestible carbs with fibers and proteins. It cites FDA petitions and TTB interim rules, plus expert cautions from the American Dietetic Association. Extension agent Susan Krumm of K-State Research and Extension offers practical context.

Berry buying and handling tips from Oregon Commission
The Oregon Raspberry and Blackberry Commission offers practical guidance on raspberries and blackberries. Buy unblemished fruit, dry containers, medium to bright red raspberries and shiny blackberries, avoid moisture, refrigerate uncovered, wash before use, and layer in a paper towel lined shallow pan. Consume within two to three days for best flavor. They are low in fat and cholesterol and provide vitamin C.
