How to Boost Your Natural Health & Energy with this Cocoa Cassava Bar

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Nutritional bars, ready-to-eat energy foods, have always promised good health for you. Ideally, they are a good alternative to nutrient-dense, processed food that you can get anywhere. But don’t easily be fooled by the way they are packaged and advertised. Laboratory tests have revealed that most of them are not as nutritious as they are purported to be.

Beware of High Carbohydrate Nutritional Bars

In 2001, ConsumerLab.com examined 30 nutritional bars for their caloric, carbohydrate, fat, cholesterol, sugar, proteins, and sodium contents and discovered that 60 percent of the products had misleading claims. The bars contained more sugar, saturated fat and sodium than the amount indicated on their labels.

Other tests have also found that some health bars contain unhealthy ingredients such as soy proteins, which are a low-cost protein source, and high fructose corn syrup, which is an inexpensive sweetener.

Switch to a Nutritious Natural Health Bar

Fortunately, there has been a marked improvement in the quality of nutritional bars in the recent years. Dr. Joseph Mercola particularly strived to create his own natural health bar that is nutritious and delicious for everyone to eat.

Dr. Mercola’s Cocoa Cassava Bar provides you with a good balance of protein, fiber and healthy fats to give you an instant energy boost any time of the day. It is a chocolate bar, healthy protein bar, natural energy bar and meal replacement bar all in one product.

Finally, Here’s a Higher Quality & More Wholesome Cocoa Cassava Bar for You

Still determined to improve this nutritional bar, Dr. Mercola pursued further research to produce the most health-enhancing, energy-giving, and best-tasting natural health bar that is available today. Dr. Mercola’s New and Improved Organic Cocoa Cassava Bar supplies you with the same nutrients that the original product has with the addition of USDA-certified organic ingredients like:

• Organic dark chocolate
• Organic cassava flour
• Organic raw chia seeds
• Organic cacao powder
• Organic unsweetened coconut

 
This natural energy bar contains lower sugar content than other bars in the market. It is truly a healthy way of eating chocolate without the guilt. Grab a bite of this super food, New and Improved Organic Cocoa, when it becomes available on Mercola.com this March 2010.
