What to look for in a health bar.

Many so-called health bars are nothing more than 'glorified' candy bars with some protein added.  Here are a few things you should look for when shopping for health bars.

Weight loss, fatigue, cravings and mood swings are a result of balancing your blood sugar with good carbs, not refined sugars and sweeteners.    
High fructose corn syrup, maltodextrins, corn syrup, malt, dextrose, starch, barley, sucrose are commonly used refined sugars and sweeteners that cause a rapid rise in your blood sugar.  This triggers the release of insulin, which causes the body to store fat and inhibit the breakdown of fats.

Trans fatty acids are known to raise "LDL" the bad cholesterol.  Trans fatty acids are labeled as partially hgdrogenated or fractionated oil .  Palm and palm kern oil raise 'bad' cholesterol.  NatraLean health bars  have 7 grams of monounsaturated fats, which are know to help with heart health, arthritis and menopause.

Artificial Sweeteners such as aspartame (Equal), sucralose (Splenda), and ascesulfame K (Sunette) are chemically altered sugars that are linked to certain health issues and are used to lower carbohydrates.  Unfortunately carbohydrates are not the whole problem.            

Common food allergens in foods are dairy, wheat, corn, soy, coffee, peanuts and MSG.  Whey protein and caseinate ingredients are dairy based.  MSG is a byproduct in the processing of (soy isolates, whey isolates, milk isolates, calcium/sodium caseinates, hydrolyzed protein.
