RE: Hey guess what? Juice is actually bad for you

in EXHAUST3 years ago

Absolutely! The same can be applied to the supposedly healthy cereal bars, like Tracker, and Eat Natural bars. They've been advertised as healthy snacks for years, so people think they're making a good choice by snacking on them instead of a Mars bar. Yes, they can give you energy, but that's probably due to the high carbs and (mostly added) sugar content. Diabetes UK did a breakdown on the major brands available: https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/enjoy-food/eating-with-diabetes/diabetes-food-myths/cereal-bars

As you say, moderation is key, but I'd rather have an apple. :)

Thanks for that link, really interesting stuff in there. I fear that diabetes is going to be a very big problem on a global scale as the years go by. Some would argue that it already is.
