Subject: Will the public swallow carb-free flour?


(CNN) -- Some diet experts have labeled carbohydrates a dietary evil these days, and that advice has thousands of weight watchers avoiding foods like bread and pasta.

But Dr. Mathias Christian Zohoungbog, who heads an obesity clinic in Italy, has found what he says is a way we can have our cake and eat it, too.

For the past decade he's been perfecting "Ros 95," a sin-free flour that replaces wheat carbohydrates with vegetable proteins and fiber.

The doctor says it can be used to make everything from muffins and breadsticks to a rice substitute and pasta. But will the public eat it up?

CNN's Jeanne Moos put the flour through a taste test with mixed results, with many people saying the taste was not good. One person said that after denying herself carbs, however, it tasted great.

The carb-free products will be available in the United States at www.liteflour.com by mid-August.
