This essay sheds light on the dangers of eating energy bars, elucidates why people mistakenly believe that energy bars are healthy to eat, and explicates why you should never eat energy bars. Moreover, the plethora of simple to prepare and palatable healthy food recipes for longevity are demystified and the surfeit of deadly disease causing foods that you should always desist from ever considering devouring are revealed in this essay. Furthermore, how to substantially mitigate risks for succumbing to contracting deleterious chronic diseases by embracing a salubrious, wholesome, heart healthy, brain healthy, kidney healthy, anticancer, antidiabetic, nutrient dense, alkaline, antioxidant rich, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet is expounded upon in this essay. Unsurprisingly, the consumption of energy bars is not without its deleterious ramifications against your overall health. Energy bars are an unhealthy, oxidized, acidic, non-alkaline, synthetic, bastardized man made product are are laced with added "sugars, artificial ingredients, partially hydrogenated oils" ("Energy Bar Ingredients", n.d.), and a host of other noxious ingredients. Energy bars may also contain pathogens, endocrine distributors, neurotoxins, "genetically modified ingredients" (Painter, 2009), and carcinogens. Some of the ample noxious ingredients that energy bars can be comprised of encompass "high-fructose corn syrup, soy protein isolate, inulin, agave syrup, brown rice syrup, sucralose, fractionated palm kernel oil, and sugar alcohols" (Young, 2016). Energy bars are a motley of deleterious ingredients that can cause digestive distress and other health issues. "The process of 'isolating' the soy protein to produce soy protein isolate for instance can leave behind traces of the neurotoxins hexane and aluminum and can even cause digestive woes due to higher concentrations of trypsin inhibitors that could block the digestion of plant protein. Moreover, around 90% of all soy is genetically modified" (Young, 2016). Therefore it is likely that your energy bars is not just an unhealthy, oxidized, acidic, non-alkaline, synthetic, bastardized man made product, but is also a product that is tainted with "genetically modified ingredients" (Painter, 2009). Aluminum is not only deemed a neurotoxin, but is also classified as a heavy metal which should never be consumed. The consumption of aluminum laced products can cause a host of health issues. Since products tainted with "soy protein isolate" (Young, 2016), such as various energy bars, can contain trace amounts of the deleterious heavy metal and neurotoxin aluminum, it is outright within your best interest to eschew them. "Aluminum and other heavy metals have been linked to nerve, brain and kidney damage" ("Is It Safe," n.d.). Even in trace amounts, heavy metals are still deemed unsafe for human consumption and should always be outright avoided. Energy bars are unhealthy, oxidized, acidic, non-alkaline, synthetic, bastardized man made products that are comprised of a multitude of deleterious ingredients that extend beyond the ambit of heavy metals. For instance, the "sugar alcohols apart of energy bars are tough to digest, so they can may cause gas, bloating, and" other health issues. Furthermore, when the inulin found in energy bars is consumed in large amounts, it can actually do the opposite of promoting healthy digestion, it can give you an upset stomach, gas, bloating, or constipation" ("Is It Safe," n.d.). Energy bars are unequivocally replete with ingredients that can precipitate the onset of digestive distress. The body was not designed to be able to efficaciously digest unhealthy, oxidized, acidic, non-alkaline, synthetic, bastardized man made products, such as energy bars and protein bars, without it being of dire consequence to its overall health. Energy bars can be comprised of protein powder which presents a grave cause for concern since protein powders are often tainted with heavy metals.
