For those of you who like body sports and build muscle, it must be familiar with protein bars. What is a protein bar? Protein bars are foods that have a dominant protein content when compared to other components such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins.
And today, I'm going to talk about the shocking truth about protein bars. Now when you go to a health of store or even a GNC, you'll see all these protein bars and maybe you think they're healthy. But, a lot of them contains soy protein isolates you don't want to consume that. First of all it's GMO. Secondly, it's very estrogenic and it's hard on the liver.
It's not the type of soy that even the Japanese or Chinese actually consume. They do fermented soy, they don't do the soy protein powder. The protein bar creates a lot of problems for you. So that's number one, number two even worse!
Protein bars are the same as sugar bars
These so-called protein bars are really sugar bars in disguise. I'm an average protein bar has about 20 to 29 pull our 30 grams of sugar per bar. That's a crazy amount! That is like insane amount of sugar. And it's it with GABA nectar, corn syrup, brown syrup, and you might think, oh yeah brown syrup is better than sugar.
It's actually no! It's all the same. Fructose, Multi-dextran, evaporated cane sugar, that's crazy! So, if you combine this sugar with the protein, you're gonna spike insulin way higher than if you consume these separate.
So, the combination of sugar with protein together exaggerated the spike in insulin. It's not a weight-loss thing. It's great if you want to gain weight but in an unhealthy way. I actually bought some when I was in my 20s. Trying to gain weight and you'd get these buckets.
They're just loaded with protein and sugar high fructose, corn syrup tons of sugar. It's a great way to cause diabetes. And then the last thing that they have is synthetic vitamins. So they throw a bunch of synthetic vitamins and you think you're getting some great vitamins. They're all synthetic. It's crappy!
So, what I think that these protein bars are missing is the healthy fat. Because you want to consume a protein bar right with a meal not in between, but you want to add the fat. So, if they had protein with that, that would be the ideal scene but they're all low fat. They have like no fat, they combine the sugar. It's basically they should they should call them the insulin bars.
Conclusion
Many people think that protein bars have a good effect (just like Food Pyramid) especially for those who are on a carbohydrate diet. This opinion is not 100% wrong if they know how to be good at eating these foods. Instead of wanting to get the benefits, excess fat and liver disease obtained.
