Holy mother of god^^^^ wow that is a bad one I hope no ones eating this one..


Lets start off with the protein and how label laws work


The Protein. I mean after all this is what we all buy the bars for in the first place so this is one of the most important Ingredients ( or so we would like to think right)

So what does this mean, Protein blend (milk Protein concentrate, calcium sodium caseinate, whey Protein isolate, whey Protein concentrate, dried egg white, L-glutamine)

And why is it all set set between the two ( ) anyway?
Ok this is how it works. Label laws say you must print ingredients from most to least. It also says if its a Protein of any kind you can lump it in with all the other proteins and slap it between the two ( ) after the words Protein blend.. Still with in the two ( ) you must print the types of Protein them self from most to least!!! so keep this in mind!!!

This works out great for the Manufacturer for a few reasons. 1 is the fact that if they put a crap load of cheap crappy protein in it and a tiny tiny bit of others kinds. They can still list ALL the proteins as first on the list and what they have the most of. because together they all add up to what the bars has the most of. Split them all up and you mite see soy Protein listed as the 3rd on the list of ingredients and Whey Protein Isolate last on the list, or close to it.. Its all label tricks.

See what I am getting at? Do not be fooled by this. It does not mean the bar has a ton of these good types of Protein in it. what it means is its got a "blend" and the only reason what so ever a company uses a "blend" of proteins is to trick you. That is it.

What we do know is the bar may say it has 24 grams of Protein in it but 23 grams of that could be cheap protein and the other 1g is another form of Protein.. There is no way to tell.

Ask yourself a question. How come no Protein bar just uses Nothing but (Whey Protein Isolate) or ( whey Protein concentrate) and that is it? just one type as there Protein source? HMMMM


Now I will give you a nice brake down of some of the other ingredients in this bar you are eating all the time.



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 bad the bar harder.


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 bland 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.


Canola= Man I am sick of this fucking oil
where does canola oil come from? Olive oil comes from olives, peanut oil from peanuts, sunflower oil from sunflowers; but what is a canola? There is nothing in the name enlighten us,

There are plenty of official Canola sites lauding this new "wonder" oil with all its low-fat health benefits. It takes a little longer to find sites that tell the less palatable details.

Here are just a few facts everyone should know before buying anything containing canola. Canola is not the name of a natural plant but a made-up word, from the words "Canada" and "oil". Canola is a genetically engineered plant developed in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant, which is part of the mustard family of plants.
Canola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to AgriAlternatives, The Online Innovation, and Technology Magazine for Farmers, "By nature, these rapeseed oils, which have long been used to produce oils for industrial purposes, are... toxic to humans and other animals". (This, by the way, is one of the websites singing the praises of the new canola industry.)

Rapeseed oil is poisonous to living things and is an excellent insect repellent. Rape is an oil that is used as a lubricant, fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base and as a illuminate for color pages in magazines. It is an industrial oil. It is not a food. Rape oil, it seems, causes emphysema, respiratory distress, anemia, constipation, irritability, and blindness in animals and humans.

Rape oil was widely used in animal feeds in England and Europe between 1986 and 1991, when it was thrown out. Remember the "Mad Cow disease" scare, when millions of cattle in the UK were slaughtered in case of infecting humans? Cattle were being fed on a mixture containing material from dead sheep, and sheep suffer from a disease called "scrapie". It was thought this was how "Mad Cow" began and started to infiltrate the human chain. What is interesting is that when rape oil was removed from animal feed, 'scrapie' disappeared.

We also haven't seen any further reports of "Mad Cow" since rape oil was removed from the feed. Perhaps not scientifically proven, but interesting all the same. US and Canadian farmers grow genetically engineered rapeseed and manufacturers use its oil (canola) in thousands of processed foods, with the blessings of Canadian and US government watchdog agencies. The canola supporting websites say that canola is safe to use. They admit it was developed from the rapeseed, but insist that through genetic engineering it is no longer rapeseed, but "canola" instead.

Except canola means "Canadian oil"; and the plant is still a rape plant, albeit genetically modified. The new name provides perfect cover for commercial interests wanting to make millions.

Canola oil from the rape seed, referred to as the Canadian oil because Canada is mainly responsible for it being marketed in the USA. The Canadian government and industry paid our Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) $50 million dollars to have canola oil placed on the (GRAS) List, "Generally Recognized As Safe". Thus a new industry was created. Laws were enacted affecting international trade, commerce, and traditional diets. Studies with lab. animals were disastrous. Rats developed fatty degeneration of heart, kidney, adrenals, and thyroid gland. When canola oil was withdrawn from their diets, the deposits dissolved but scar tissue remained on all vital organs. No studies on humans were made before money was spent to promote Canola oil in the USA.

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare fatal degenerative disease caused by a build up long-chain fatty acids (c22 to c28) which destroys the myelin (protective sheath) of the nerves. Canola oil is a very long chain fatty acid oil (c22). Those who will defend canola oil say that the Chinese and Indians have used it for centuries with no effect, however it was in an unrefined form (taken from FATS THAT HEAL AND FATS THAT KILL by Udo Erasmus).

Canola oil is a health hazard to use as a cooking oil or salad oil. It is not the healthy oil we thought it was. It is not fit for human consumption, do not eat canola oil, it can hurt you. Polyunsaturated or not, this is a bad oil.

Be Sure to also read this informative report written by leading health expert Tom Valentine, Canola Oil Report.

Go to Ask Jeeves yourself: Ask.com Search Engine - Better Web Search and type in (Where does Canola Oil come from?) and see what you come up with.

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.


Artificial Flavors= I fucking love this one. This could mean anything.
The word Artificial says it all though I guess!!!!

Monoglycerides= man I am getting board already. Lets make it short. Its a shitty fat!!!!


Lecithin=

What is soy lecithin?

In the early 1900’s, the yet to be named ’soy lecithin’ was just a waste product produced during the “degumming” process of soybean oil. By 1908 the soy bean crushing and soy oil refining companies had expanded and they were having trouble disposing of the large amounts of foul smelling, fermenting waste product. Soy plants in Germany decided to name this waste product ’soy lecithin’ and looked for ways to utilize it. By 1939 scientists had found more than 1,000 different ways to use soy lecithin.

It’s important to note that solvents are used during the “degumming” process of soybean oil, so soy lecithin itself is likely to contain chemical solvents!!!!!!!!



Why what a healthy little snack you have there my friend!!!

Btw bro I am just putting information out there. Not at all trying to be a dick to you. I bet you are a awesome guy and I hope you do not think I am being a jerk. I would never intentionally be a jerk to some one for no reason. Nothing but respect for you bro. Just saw you post a protein bar and figured it was the best chance to give a little brake down on what is in candy bars OOPPS sorry I meant protein bars these days. If you buy in on the shelf already made for you. Trust me its filled with some of the most unhealthy and even deadly poises on the market today..

Test me on this. Post up any bar on the market. Any bar at all. I will go through its list of ingredients and point out all the poison to you. It makes me sick that they are even allowed to call these protein bars " health" products.


What makes it all even worse is the fact that people are paying 2.50 all the way up to 4 bucks for a bar full of this kind of crap. Next time By a sinkers bar and chase it down with a protein shake. It taste better,its cheaper, and truthfully it has less chemicals in it then that bar you just posted does. How sad is that?
