Why are so many 'nutrition' bars loaded with sugar?

[musclepump20]

It seems any bar that isn't low carb is just chuck full of sugar, not quality carbs. There are even more grams of sugar than protein in some of them. For the price you pay per bar (about $3.00) they should have more fiber and low glycemic carbs in some bars at least. Anyone know of any bars that have good ingredients?

Thanks.

hehe. The high protein/low carb ones are like chewing taffy. I use Myoplex bars with moderate carbs because it tastes much better.

without sugar, they would taste awful

Most bars are nothing more than the equivalent of a Snicker's bar mixed with some cheap whey protein. Read the ingredients carefully as there are very few "nutrition" bars that are actually worth eating.

Reason is simple: It's cheap...companies don't care about your nutritional needs, they care about their pocket. Sugar is easier to put in a bar then oatmeal mix, I mean wouldn't you want to make easy money...They are sick in my view, for lying to the ignorant.

Those fuckers. Even the supposed 'quality' supplement companies do this. And they still have the guts to charge a shitload for them. That pisses me off. Everyone should boycott and revolt against these practices.
