From frozen pizza, to microwave popcorn, to nutrition bars … What will they think of next? Our great uncles and aunts would have shaken their heads in disbelief too if someone had presented them with these nutrition bars.

Nutrition bars can take the place of a regular meal. Bars which include energy bars, protein bars, and diet bars among others, were basically manufactured to help people who have to maintain healthy weights and on constantly work out activities meet their meal requirements. Nutrition bars may be used as an option if you can’t sit down for a meal.

There are numerous types and brands of nutrition bars available. These have different levels of nutritional contents for different nutritional requirements. These health bars are more common in athletes as these are being used to provide them the energy needed to make them endure the physical activities.

A lot of opposing issues on the dangers of the health bars have been thrown back and forth. A study on several nutrition bars has revealed that more than half of the brands fail to meet what their labels claim. One reason that several of the bars failed to pass the study was because they posted the wrong nutritional information on their wrappers. Some claim to contain less carbohydrate and sugar when in fact it contains way more than its label says. As a result of the study, several warnings were issued regarding the credibility of the nutrition information on the wrapper’s labels.

Label

Reading the label on that nutrition bar from end to end may not be a better thing to do than not reading it at all. The reality is these bars would require more sugar and some other stuff to make them taste good. The more delicious and the less healthy … So next time you need to eat, make time for a light meal and stop settling on a bar.
