 A: PC Blue Menu Chewy Cranberry Apple Granola Bars

Granola (Rolled Oats, Wheat Flakes, Sugar/Glucose-Fructose, Glucose, Honey, Canola And/Or Soybean Oil, Fancy Molasses, Salt, Vegetable Monoglycerides), Glucose, Rice Flour, Cranberries (Contain Sugar, Sunflower Oil), Dehydrated Apples (Contain Sulphites), Glycerin, Honey, Fructose, Sugar/Glucose-Fructose, Canola And/Or Soybean Oil, Salt, Vegetable Monoglycerides, Citric Acid, Natural Flavour. MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF MILK.  

Sure seems like a lot of SUGAR/SWEETENERS in this product that is marketed as a healthy choice. Approximately 2 teaspoons of sugar in each bar. Hmmmmmm. Doesn't seem right. does it??? Low fat does not mean that it is healthy or even good for you. Stick with snacks that don't have an ingredient list! :)

Compared to the Blue Menu "healthy" granola bars...they are very close in terms of nutrition, calories and fat! Here is the kicker...they have the same amount of SUGAR!

Jen Love your hair! I love how you commented so accurately on the connection between free radicals and collagen production. It is true if we didnt have a reason to limit the pop and cheesecake before...looking younger should do it!
