Health Integrity Analysis
Is Protein Energy Bar, Salted Caramel 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 70/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.
⚠️ Moderate Caution
While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Maltodextrin. A highly processed white powder from corn or wheat. It has a higher Glycemic Index than table sugar (spiking insulin rapidly) and can suppress good gut bacteria. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.
The Sugar Reality Check
This product contains 15g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 4 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 Energy Bar, Salted Caramel achieves a CakeID Score of 70/100.
