To our hips? I don't know, sometimes if reading the label is too confusing I wonder if we should be consuming that product..

Adding to what the first responder, and your response to them- an item has X amount of carbs and then the sugar and fiber are subtracted from that. With your granola bar, oats have carbohydrates- based on the info you wrote here it must be about 14 grams. Now 4 of those grams are the oat's fiber, so they 'count' against the total number. I'm guessing the sugar carbs are a sprinkling of sugar that's added to the granola bar, but they could just as easily be part of the oat too. The 10 not shown carbs aren't anything added, they're just how many carbs oats inherently have- does that make sense?
