Ingredients We Resist!
We care just as much about the ingredients we choose not to include, as we do the ones we consciously include! Below are some ingredients you may be used to seeing in other bars that are on our no-no list!
-
Bloating, stomach pain, and excessive gas can be caused by sugar alcohols. These are particularly challenging for the body to digest, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. In addition, excessive consumption of sugar alcohols has been associated with issues including diabetes and weight gain due to their high calorie content and complete lack of nutritional value.
-
Brown rice protein/syrup is a processed food that lacks numerous critical nutrients, such as amino acids and essential fatty acids. Because of its high sugar content, this processed food should be avoided by anyone with diabetes or PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). High sugar levels can also promote insulin resistance, leading to hormonal imbalances and harmful blood sugar levels.
-
Whey protein should be avoided by those who have lactose intolerance or dairy allergy because it causes digestive difficulties and discomfort. Overconsumption of whey protein, especially when combined with a high-protein diet, may put a burden on the kidneys and liver, potentially leading to long-term health difficulties in many people.
-
Food is often bulked up with gum and fillers, yet they offer no health or flavor benefits. Prolonged consumption of these additives can potentially lead to digestive problems, hormone disruptions like PCOS and insulin resistance, weight gain, and blocked absorption of minerals and vitamins. This is due to the coating gums create on the cells inside the small intestine.
-
Natural and artificial flavors, which increase taste without adding nutritional value, frequently contribute to the overconsumption of highly processed, unhealthy foods. What the heck are natural flavors? Also, both natural and artificial tastes may contain unnoticed chemicals and allergens, which can be troublesome for people with sensitivities or dietary restrictions.
-
Not only does refined sugar lack critical elements, delivering simply empty calories with no nutritional value, but it has also been connected to a variety of health problems, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and tooth decay. It can induce blood sugar spikes and crashes, resulting in energy fluctuations and increased hunger, contributing to bad eating habits.
-
Due to their ability to trigger several allergic reactions and gastrointestinal disorders, preservatives can be detrimental to our health. When used excessively over time, several preservatives have also been linked to adverse health effects, such as accelerating the onset of chronic illnesses.
