Health Integrity Analysis

Is protein bar truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 80/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Palm Oil. A vegetable fat high in saturated fatty acids. Its massive production is a primary driver of deforestation, endangering species like orangutans. Refined palm oil may also contain harmful contaminants. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 12g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 3 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, protein bar achieves a CakeID Score of 80/100.

Highly Recommended: This is a top-tier choice that balances convenience with excellent nutritional value.
