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.
