“Health Foods” That Are Bad For You #3

Part Three: Protein Bars

It’s impossible to say that all protein bars are bad for you. But I can comfortably say that most of them are.

-Most protein bars are made with whey protein which is a form of dairy. (See Part One of “Healthy Foods That Are Bad For You”)

-They contain processed ingredients, fillers, and artificial ingredients

-They have lots of added sugar

Check the nutritional label. If you’re going to eat a protein bar, be sure it’s organic. If there are more than 200 calories, the sugar content is more than 4 grams, or if the list of ingredients is a mile long, you probably shouldn’t eat it.
