Guys, if you are still searching for the perfect protein bar..

20g's of fat per piece isn't a lot?

Oh, and um, no. Amazon.com: Met-Rx Big 100 Meal Replacement Bar, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, 3.52-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12): Health & Personal Care

Psssst...your body can't tell the difference between corn sugar and cane sugar.
Even if they did contain soybean hydrogenated oils, you act as if that is honestly the deciding factor. Give me a fucking break. If you follow a bodybuilding lifestyle, you could consume double the amount of that shit as the average American and still be just fine. Like I said, not good enough to sell itself. I might order some just to try them out, but stop acting like they're hot shit. It's a protein bar. Nothing special.



Oh, I bet. It's not about the training, the gear, the genetics, the sleep schedule, or the diet, it's about the fucking protein bar selection. Jesus Christ. :rolleyes:

PSSSSST you don't know your ass from your elbow bro. PSSSST the better protein bars don't have cain sugar they have all natural sugar from nature that comes from honey if that is what you choice to make them with..

PSSSSTTT Corn sugar is bad for you. Just because they renamed it from high fructos corn syrup to "corn sugar" does not make it any less shitty then it used to be.

I can can hear it now, parents telling other parents: "What, you feed your kids normal sugar? We only let our kid eat sweets sweetened with corn sugar."


Or cereal companies will proudly display: This cereal is made with 100% pure corn sugar. Seriously, the brand cache -- because it has a vegetable in the name, and because it has the word "sugar" -- will be huge

But uts still high fructose corn syrup like it has always been and you fell for it hook line and sinker!!!

Just like every other avg consumer is prob going to. KId I was a chef for 13+ years a dietary aid and a cook in the army for 4 years I have a published cook book and have been studding the subjects of food, label laws and topics around them my whole life.. You really want to go toe to toe with me on this one? Lets do it I will un ban you now because I do feel like moping the floor with your ass.

OK your are un banned please come tango with me bro. I cant wait for this.



Back to your so called healthy corn sugar ( UMMM really high fructose corn syrup renamed to sound health that is!!) God people will fall for anything in a tv commercial lmao


For one you are trying to say corn sugar (aka high fructose corn syrup is the same as natural sugar from cain or even 1/1th as good for you as natural honey sugar// Then you say the better protein bars have to much fat lmao..

OK lets educate you some more and kill two birds with one stone. In order to appreciate just how damaging high fructose corn syrup is to your body, it is crucial to have a basic understanding of how different types of carbohydrates are metabolized. Glucose is the basic fuel for living organisms, and is the primary energy source for your brain. It is a product of photosynthesis and is found in rice, corn and other grains, and bread and pasta. Once you take in glucose from a meal, 80 percent of it is used by all of the organs of your body - every single cell. The remaining 20 percent goes to your liver to be metabolized and stored.

The 20 percent that reaches the liver is converted into glycogen to be stored in the liver. Glycogen is your body’s nontoxic short-term energy storage package, where it can be easily converted to energy when you need it. Your liver has no limit to how much glycogen it can store without detrimental effects. (That is what athletes take advantage of when they “carboload.”) A small amount of pyruvate (for energy) and citrate (as VLDL) is produced. Insulin is produced to process the glucose from the blood stream into the cells. When you consume 120 calories of glucose, less than one calorie contributes to adverse metabolic outcomes.

Ethanol, or ethyl alcohol, (caused when sugar ferments) is the favourite carbohydrate of many. But it is also a carbohydrate that undergoes a very different metabolic process, leaving in its wake a trail of toxins a mile long. Ethanol is an acute central nervous system toxin and must be metabolized almost completely in the liver. But the metabolic process in the liver is quite different from that of glucose. It produces free radicals that damage proteins of the liver, converts to bad cholesterol VLDL, liver inflammation, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, insulin resistance (which leads to Type 2 diabetes). After a 120-calorie intake of ethanol, a large fraction (about 40 calories) can contribute to disease.

In nearly every way, fructose is metabolized the same way as ethanol, creating the same toxins in your body. When you consume fructose, one hundred percent of it goes directly to your liver to be metabolized. It overloads the liver. It depletes your liver cells of phosphates, produces uric acid which in turn raises blood pressure, produces high cholesterol (bad type), converts into fat cells (belly fat), causes insulin resistance (which leads to Type 2 diabetes) and fatty liver disease, Fructose metabolism is similar to a dose of ethanol (alcohol), a 120-calorie intake of fructose results in a large fraction (again, about 40 calories) that directly contributes to disease.

The point to take away is: consuming fructose is consuming fat. Fructose is not really a carbohydrate - a high fructose diet is a HIGH FAT diet. A high fat diet that creates a vicious cycle of consumption that won’t turn itself off.

You can see by comparing the metabolism of fructose with the metabolism of ethanol that they are very similar. In fact, when you compare the metabolism of 150 calories of soda with 150 calories of beer (a 500ml can of each), about 90 calories reach the liver in either case. Fructose causes most of the same toxic effects as ethanol because both come from sugar fermentation.

Two other studies were done using medical students, both looking at biological responses to fructose loading. In the first, the students were given either a large glucose load or a large fructose load. In the students given fructose, almost 30 percent of the calories ended up as fat. In the students given glucose, almost none ended up as fat. In the second study, medical students were given a high fructose diet for 6 days. In just that short time, their insulin resistance and triglycerides doubled!


BUT WAIT I AM NOT DONE YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And I am sure you still think you're smarter then the rest of us so I need to keep pounding you with facts of how little you really do know. YAAAA
 
Your body can tell the difference between corn sugar ( aka high fructose crap um I mean crap sugar)

We normally have pathways in our brains that regulate when we stop eating. Fructose undermines these normal satiety signals, increasing caloric consumption both directly and indirectly. Fructose does not stimulate a leptin rise, so your satiety signals are diminished. Glucose suppresses the hunger hormone— it makes you want more food, but fructose does not.

Dr. Richard Johnson, is a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado where he runs the kidney other healthrelated problems has proven how uric acid in your blood can wreak havoc on your blood pressure, insulin production and even kidney function. He didn’t start by looking at fructose however. It began when he realized that uric acid is a major component of obesity, high blood pressure and kidney disease.

In fact, he discovered that newly diagnosed adolescents with high blood pressure had elevated uric acid levels 90 percent of the time. And by lowering uric acid in these obese, hypertensive adolescents, he was able to normalize blood pressure in 87 percent of all cases. It’s been known that meats and purine rich foods can raise uric acid, but it turns out that one of the most potent ways to raise uric acid is via fructose!

You probably already know that fructose is a sugar, but remember that it’s distinctly different from other sugars as it’s metabolized through very specific pathways that differ from those of glucose, which generates uric acid. In fact, fructose typically generates uric acid within minutes of ingestion.

But let’s take a step back and look at what uric acid is, and how it’s linked to fructose consumption.
 
High fructose corn syrup has become a common staple in the modern
diet. It has become the standard filler for food manufacturers
because it makes foods taste sweeter and preserves them for a
longer shelf life. This cheap ingredient is hidden in the long list
of ingredients of many popular food brands; and consumers have been
taking large amounts of corn syrup completely unaware of health
ramifications.

Many people assume that because corn syrup is derivative of corn,
that it is safe and natural. This is not the case. High fructose
corn syrup is a synthetic liquid derived from corn starch.

The most immediate danger high fructose corn syrup poses is fat
gain; and over a long period of regular consumption, obesity. A
February 2010 Princeton study using rats showed that subjects
with access to high fructose corn syrup gained significantly
more fat than rats with access to table sugar. The documents of
the study quote: "In addition to causing significant gain in
lab animals, long-term consumption of high-fructose corn syrup
also led to abnormal increases in body fat, especially in the
abdomen, and a rise in circulating blood fats called
triglycerides."

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the
40 years since the introduction of high-fructose corn syrup in the
United States has seen a sharp upward spike in the rates of obesity.
Aside from obesity, the Princeton study mentions that high fructose
corn syrup also spiked triglyceride levels; also known as bad
cholesterol. This means that sugary sweet snacks packed with high
fructose corn syrup puts consumers in danger of heart disease,
hypertension, and stroke.

Recently, corn syrup producers, in an attempt to rehabilitate the
negative image surrounding corn syrup have started using the term
corn sugar when referring to high fructose corn syrup; hoping to
convince label conscious shoppers that they are consuming products
made with natural sugar. Corn sugar, despite the more wholesome
name, poses all the same health risk as the formerly named high
fructose corn syrup.

The scariest side effects of high fructose corn syrup may the
ones science and health researchers have not yet discovered.
Protect yourself by avoiding high fructose corn syrup /corn
sugar consumption.


Note my writing ^^^^^^^^^^^
 
Im just waiting for some ntbm ketchup to come out, i cant for the life of me find any without the corn sugar ;)
