Sources Updates

Some of the Source information from Carb Wars has changed (sigh). Here's an update:

―They're back! Eat Well Be Well products have been discontinued but the Carbsmart® Web site at
www.carbsmart.com now has sugar-free chocolate chips with no sugar alcohols.

―The director of the Iroquois corn project died suddenly, and they had to shut down, so the Iroquois
white corn is temporarily unavailable. I've spoken to Dr. Kevin White, who is now heading up the
project, and he says they hope to be back in business soon. Let them know you are interested. For
information, contact editor@prophecyandsurvival.com or orders@prophecyandsurvival.com. In the
meanwhile, you can substitute stone ground cornmeal in my recipes that call for Pinewoods
Products’ corn. The nutrition counts given for the recipes are already for Bob’s Red Mill stone ground
cornmeal, since the information from Pinewoods Products did not include a carb count.

―The Big Skies Farms products (chocolate chips, Wheylow, and Lite White Flour Blend) are now for
sale from their own Web site at www.bigskiesfarm.com rather than from www.lowcarbdietchefs.

Bread
This is the new bread that everyone is raving about. The Francis Simun Bakery in Dallas, Texas makes
low-carb bread, croutons, bagels, tortillas, hot dog buns, hamburger buns, bagel chips, bread crumbs,
and pizza crust. Their pizza crust is the kind of thick, chewy crust that I never expected to be able to eat
again! Life is good.

Chocolate
Guittard’s unsweetened  chocolate comes in convenient 1-inch disks that can be melted without
chopping. Order it from the King Arthur Flour® Company ( www.kingarthurflour.com ) or from
Chocosphere® ( www.chocosphere.com ). (On Chocosphere’s Web site it is called “Guittard’s
Classic “Oban” Cocoa Liquor Wafer.”)

Low Carb Specialties Inc.™ sells ChocoPerfection, all-natural chocolate candy bars sweetened with
oligofructose and erythritol. Each bar has 2 net carbs and 14 grams of fiber. What a tasty way to add
fiber to your diet! You can order from the Web site: www.lowcarbspecialties.com. Monthly shipping
is available.

Flour
White whole-wheat flour is available in many stores and by mail order from the King Arthur Flour®
Company www.kingarthurflour.com. It is only slightly lower in carbs than all-purpose flour, but it has
all the nutrients of whole wheat with a taste similar to white flour.

Sugar Replacements
Polydextrose (polyD or poly-d) is not very sweet, but it has many of the qualities of sugar that are
missing in high-intensity sweeteners. It contains 1 to 2 net grams of carbohydrate and 25 grams of
soluble fiber per ounce. I used Sta-lite® III polydextrose from Honeyville Grain (look under Low
Carbohydrate Bakery Ingredients at www.honeyvillegrain.com )  to test my recipes. It comes in five-
pound bags. Netrition ( www.netrition.com ) also sells polydextrose; their Life Source Foods PolyD
Fiber is similar to the one from Honeyville Grain, but they also have one sweetened with sucralose,
called PolyD Fiber Plus, which has a significant carb advantage, since it has about the same count
as the unsweetened one; when you add your own Splenda®, you add 24 carbs per cup because
commercial Splenda® contains sugar as a bulking agent. Both products are sold in one-pound bags.

Low Carb Specialties Inc.™ sells SweetPerfection sugar substitute. SweetPerfection is oligofructose
derived from chicory root. It has zero carbs and 122 grams of fiber per cup! It can be used measure
for measure like table sugar. It can be ordered from the Web site: www.lowcarbspecialties.com.

Tortillas
La Tortilla Factory ( www.latortillafactory.com )was the first company to make low-carb tortillas. They
come in two sizes and several flavors. The original whole-wheat tortillas have 3 net carbs each; the
large ones have 5. I especially like their white flour wraps made with extra virgin olive oil. They
taste like regular flour tortillas, but each large tortilla has only 7 net carbs. (There are now other
brands of low-carb tortillas, just be sure you get ones without trans fats.)

Duck
Maple Leaf Farms’™ all-natural, USDA grade A ducks are raised without antibiotics. Independent
animal welfare experts audit their farms, and their products bear an Animal Well-being Assured seal.
Phone: 1-800-348-2812. The Web site has a store locator, or you can order online at
www.mapleleaffarms.com.

Pasta
Dreamfields™ pasta is made with real semolina flour and is indistinguishable from regular pasta. It
has 5 digestible grams of carbohydrate in a generous two-ounce serving, compared to 40 or more for
regular pasta. Dreamfields™ comes as spaghetti, linguini, macaroni, lasagna, rotini, and two sizes of
penne. It costs about the same as regular pasta. There is a store finder on their Web site at
www.dreamfieldsfoods.com. You can order by the case from their Web site or by the package from
Netrition at www.netrition.com/dreamfields_pasta_page.html and from many other sites, including
www.carbsmart.com.    

Spaghetti Sauce
All the sugar-free pasta sauces I have found are imported from Italy. Most American-made sauces
contain sugar, starch, and lots of additives. Cost Plus World Market® stores,
www.worldmarket.com/custserv/store_locator.jsp, usually carry several Italian brands.

Alessi® marinara pasta sauce is made with olive oil and has only 2 net carbs in ½ cup. It is imported
from Sicily by Vigo Importing Co., Tampa, FL 33614; Web site: www.vigo-alessi.com.

Don Pomodoro® marinara sauce is made in Italy from all-natural, organic ingredients. It contains 3
net grams of carbohydrate in ½ cup. My local Albertson’s store carries it.
