Better Protein Bars?

Again using Die$eL~Man's standard of a healthy good for you protein bar. The one " he likes" .. That he says is not crap but better protein bars are crap. Lets look some more at what is in the bars he likes and see what else we can find that is ooo so healthy for us and not at all like a candy bar.

ingredients:
blah blah's Protein Blend (Soy Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Isolate), Fruit Blend (Fruit Juice, Natural Grain Dextrin), Whole Grain Rolled Oats, Water Canola Oil, Marshmallow Filling (Sugar, Rice Flour, Wheat Starch, Corn Starch, Titanium Dioxide and Lecithin), Almonds, Graham Crumbs, Honey, Chocolate Chips, Vegetable Glycerine, Coco Processed with Alkali, Natural and artificial flavors. Contains 2% Or Less Of The Following: Plum Puree, Lecithin, Monoglycerides, Organic Soy Butter, Citric Acid, Caclum propionate, Potassium Sorbate, Salt, And Sucralose.

fruit juice!
The Ingredients say "fruit juice". OK what kind of "fruit juice"? Did you know that this could be anything from natural fruit juice to a chemically altered concentrate but no matter what it is or source it comes from legally they can call it "fruit juice" regardless as long as it resembles the juice of a fruit in some kind of way. YUP More label tricks ya!!!!

Again using Die$eL~Man's standard of a healthy good for you protein bar. The one " he likes" .. What else is in that healthy bar?


Natural Grain Dextrin= ya sure sounds nice don't it.

Dextrins are a group of low-molecular-weight carbohydrates produced by the hydrolysis of starch. They have the same general formula as carbohydrates but are of shorter chain length. In other words shitty useless carbs.
They are used as water-soluble glues, as thickening agents in food processing so only reason its there is because it was cheap and it made the bar harder.


Again using Die$eL~Man's standard of a healthy good for you protein bar. The one " he likes" .. That he says is not crap but better protein bars are crap. what else is in the bar?


Glucose Syrup
Glucose Syrup= HAHAHAHA some label tricks on this one. Glucose Syrup=Technically any liquid starch hydrolysate of mono, di, and higher saccharides. Again label trick. This could be corn syrup, High-fructose corn syrup, or a fructose/glucose syrup blend of any kind. Point being the fact that they chose to call it (Glucose Syrup) rather then its exact name shows and intent to hide something. Ether way what ever it is is more shitty worthless (very un natural) and no good for you in any way shape or form.
 
Ok lets stop messing around and just go down the list of the rest of the healthy ingredents in Die$eL~Man's standard of a healthy good for you protein bar



Vegetable Glycerine


Vegetable Glycerine is a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid
Its used in soup,shampoo,and other cleaning agents. More man mad crap. This is prob one of the lesser evils though.

However lets look much much closer at what Vegetable glycerine (glycerol) really is. Heated at 280 deg C it decomposes to acrolein. This is not a partial decomposition. It also doesn't need any other chemical component or anything, just heat. This is actually one of the ways of obtaining acrolein.

So lets back track and make sure we understand exactly what I am saying. Vegetable Glycerine when heated to 280 deg C itturns into acrolein.

So if any cooking process is used to make anything containing Vegetable Glycerine gets hot enough you will end up with what?

Acrolein is a severe pulmonary irritant and lacrimating agent. It has been used as a chemical weapon during World War I. It is, however, not outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention. Acrolein is also a metabolite of the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide, and is associated with hemorrhagic cystitis. Skin exposure to acrolein causes serious damage. Acrolein concentrations of 2 ppm are immediately harmful. Acrolein is a suspected human carcinogen.In October 2006, researchers found connections between acrolein in the smoke from tobacco cigarettes and the risk of lung cancer.

Artificial Flavors

You got to be kidding me with this one? Not even going to address it. We all know for a fact this can not be healthy in any way.

I have been typing a wile now so I am going to take a brake but I will come back to this thread later. Because we still have sooo many more o so healthy ingredients in Die$eL~Man's standard of a healthy good for you protein bar that we still need to go over.

For now I think the point has been proven. NO Die$eL~Man a Hershy bar is not better then a better protein bar. No A better protein bar is not crap.

In fact what you think is healthy and a great bar is what is really the crap bar and your standard of healthy and good for you bar is really more like a A candy bar. You got it backwards bro. But I am glad I could educate you and get you on the right path to what a real healthy protein bar looks like my friend.

Thank you.

I received my three bags of Better Protein Bars today and cooked up a batch earlier. Are these bars supposed to be this gooey? I thought they would harden up after a few hours but they kinda fall apart if you hold them out straight. Is this normal? I haven't tried one yet either. Also I was wondering if eating one of these bars was sufficient enough for a pre-workout snack? One bar contains the following...

Calories - 414
Fat - 21g
Carbs - 36g
Sugar - 24g
Protein - 26g
