Your Nutritional Bar Is Really A Candy Bar

I sit down with a lot of people in my office at our holistic center and discuss with them the type of foods that they take in. The difficulty that I often run into is when they deem that they are eating healthy things but they really aren't. One of the most common errors is the nutritional bar. The nutritional bar is growing in popularity as individuals struggle to make healthy choices. As the demand for more health conscious snacks grows, many company's are inundating the marketplace with their versions of a nutritional bar. The complication is that these so called nutritional bars are not healthy.

They are genuinely candy bars in disguise!

The Nutritional Bar Is The New Candy Bar

There are more junk food candy bars disguised as a nutritional bar than there are precise nutritional bars. Knowing this data alone will help you make better decisions.

If you are are in the nutritional bar section of the store and there are ten bars to select from, most likely only one, maybe two out of the ten bars are really healthy!

Helping You Choose A Real Nutritional Bar

Nutritional Bar Deception #1: There is no rule, regulation or law attached to the word "Natural"; it literally means nothing when it comes to generating healthy decisions.

You can take a soda and put it in a green recycled can and call it natural soda. Don't pay attention to the word "all natural". It will get you in trouble nearly all of the time.

Nutritional Bar Deception #2: Don't pay attention to the packaging. A lot of establishments will package their products carefully with pictures of nuts and healthy things on their package but this means nothing as well. The most attractive packaging is generally the most deceptive products.

A real nutritional bar has basic packaging nearly all of the time.

Nutritional Bar Deception #3: Do not be misled by the word "Organic". This means nothing as well. Although an organic product is safer than a bar made from GMO ingredients, it doesn't mean that the product is healthy. You will most times see a percentage of organic items on the label; "70% Organic". The other 30% are food ingredients that decrease vitality of the product in a large percentage of cases.

Nutritional Bar Deception #4: Do not pay much attention to the nutritional value label. Many junk foods disguised as a nutritional bar use this area to trick you into thinking you are getting something nutritious. The average person is going to consume an entire bar when they open it but businesses will make it a two and three serving nutritional label which means that in order to get an concrete measurement you have to double and sometimes triple what you see on the label.

Choosing A Real Nutritional Bar

The only way to select a real nutritional bar is by reading the ingredients list. It should contain organic whole foods in the list and there should not be artificial flavorings or coloring. You should also be able to determine all of the ingredients.

It shouldn't contain; sugar, evaporated cane juice, cane syrup, brown sugar, fructose, high fructose corn syrup, or chemical sweeteners. It should be sweetened with all natural ingredients such as; honey, Agave Nectar, Stevia, Raisins, Dates, Fruits or Fruit Juices, etc.

Here is the label for one of the most popular nutritional bar products on the market. Unfortunately it is a junk food candy bar disguised as a nutritional bar. Read the ingredients list:

The only valuable thing you are looking for on this whole box and labeling is the ingredients list:

Whole Oats Flour - Good Stuff Sugar- Linked to poor health and disease Canola Oil - GMO, heat unstable Yellow Corn Flour - Cheap filler, GMO, No nutrition Honey - Small amounts, just for show Soy Flour - Cheap Filler, GMO Brown Sugar - More white sugar mixed with molasses Salt- The bad salt Soy Lecithin - Not organic so probably GMO Baking Soda - Most likely the typical aluminum containing baking soda Natural Flavorings - Unknown ingredients; usually msg

The is the label for one of if not the healthiest nutritional bar on the marketplace:

This product has very simple packaging but the ingredients list speaks volumes. It is brimming with nutrition and everything on the label is a powerful food. If your ingredients list on your nutritional bar does not look anything like this, you are eating an imposter. Beware! Stay Healthy!
