Unhealthy Fats: palm oil, soybean oil, heavy cream (non-organic) and butterfat (non-organic).Sugar: loaded with unnatural sugar sources such as glucose, sugar, glycerine, high maltose corn syrup, cane syrup, maltodextrin, fructose and dextrose….Soy is also a hormone disrupter and allergen. Finally, we have conventional soy which is GMO or genetically modified. Non-organic dairy contains antibiotics and is also loaded with hormones, which lead to hormone imbalance (low testosterone, high estrogen). We then have conventional whey, which is from non-organic dairy. Secondly, casein often causes the development of a mucus in the intestine, leading to digestive issues and a reduction in nutrient absorption. Protein Source: first off casein is a protein from dairy that is extremely difficult to digest by the body and is the cause of many allergic responses in the body.

I think that will be good enough though 🙂 Balance Bar In addition, remember I have not mentioned every single ingredient that is not good for you, just the ones that are the worst. Now the following list by no means covers the entire gamut of protein and nutrition bars that are bad for you, but this is a darn good start.

Yes of course, they are THK approved, so make sure to throw out the following bad guys!! The Best and Worst Protein and Nutrition Bars
GO MACRO SUNFLOWER BUTTER HOW TO
So today we are going to take a look at how to decipher the difference. Some can actually be a really healthy option when needed while others are nothing short of a candy bar.
