According to this fascinating article on Oreos:
The low-carb Oreo also didn't last, but that had more to do with a fad-driven marketplace than with science. When Kraft ditched the low-carb Oreo, it took the same cookie and put it in a new box touting a hotter diet trend.
And with that, the Oreo CarbWell last month became the Sugar Free SnackWell's Oreo.
It also details the history of the trans fat warnings and how Oreo has responded. Read the whole article.
(As an aside: I wish some other companies would bring back their low carb offerings as sugar free and give them wider distribution and a more sane price point -- specifically Heinz ketchup!)
I'm seeing a lot of sugar-free items these days. Is that the new "low carb?"

Thanks so much for keeping track of the things we low-carbers depend on!
Wish someone could make a healthy Oreo!

If you go to my web site you will see that we have all kinds of 0 carb breads, bagels, pitas, crackers etc. We also now have taco shells, hard tortillas, and soon taco salad bowls. We now carry RW Garcia chips that are wonderful, carbquick and new carbplose flour. We also carry our own line of s/f granola and sweet hot and spicy nuts. Everything you have been missing is there and we don't carry anything with sugar alcohols or trans fat. Lindy

I've been looking for this product for a while hoping it would come back. I have a problem with hypoglycemic (low blood sugar). I have to follow a diebetic diet to control it. I really enjoyed the carb well products because, I can eat a carb well snack and it does not affect my sugar.
Thank you CARB WELL.
