How to tell net carbs?

Ok, help me figure this out.  When something says "carbs and gives the amount.  How do you figure out the net carbs?  Am I being dumb or just have a memory problem?

To calculate the net, or effective, carbohydrate content of a food, subtract the number of grams of fiber from the number of grams of carbohydrate. For example, 1 cup of blackberries has 14 grams of carbs, but almost 8 grams of it comes from fiber. Total Carbs – Fiber = Net Carbohydrate or in our example, 14 grams – 8 grams = 6 grams of net carbs.

Thanks Darlene!   You cleared that up for me.  I had forgotten..lol

In other items, also subtract the sugar alcohols.

Neither fiber nor sugar alcohols are absorbed.

Sugar, however is absorbed starting IN YOUR MOUTH.
