American Cheese

I looked at the package nutrition information on some packs of sliced American Cheese at the store today.

Three different packs, all off-brand, stuff, had 3 different carb contents. The slice size was the same for each, 19g, one had 6g of carbs, one 3g, and one 0g.

The difference seemed to be the use of soybean oil. The zero carb package used skim milk and didn't have soybean oil on the list of ingredients, the 6g one had it listed first.

The zero gram package was also the most expensive. It appears that soybean oil is a cheap ingredient of fake cheese, but it's also full of carbs.
