Statistically there are not enough people on low carb diets to put a dent in the humongous bread business. This is special interest whine and media filler.

Whoa, thats quite an important bit of knowledge. Thanks so such for sharing your unique insight.. Hitting my forehead with my palm, how could I have ever believed otherwise.. :)
