I believe Pure Points may be the ww program that is used in the UK. Which would also explain why
there it only asks for calories and sat. fat - no fiber. The UK program only takes calories and
saturated fat into consideration when calculating points ... one of the variances between the
programs offered in various countries. In other conversations here, I believe these differences are
due because of the different laws as to reporting nutritional data. Fiber may not be readily
available on all items in the UK, but is required in the US.
