Its no wonder people in america need to lose so much weight. I just read the ingredients in shredded cheddar cheese and it has POTATO STARCH.

I have PCOS and it is greatly effected by starches!!

    I think it is in there to help the cheese not stick to itself. I've started buying block cheese & just shredding it myself. No added ingredients & cheaper! :flowerforyou:
