Belvita breakfast biscuits are hoodwinking the public, I swear it.
The products label themselves as heart-healthy and wholesome, but how wholesome can a sugary breakfast bar really be?

VSL#3 Review | Healthy Bacteria
Bacteria can be good for you, and it is especially useful for IBS sufferers. It’s all about rebalancing the gut flora, and a lot of the time this doesn’t come from any typical food or drink, no matter how natural or organic.

TREK: they love a fad. First to jump aboard the gluten-free, high-protein, vegan train, their products have obviously done well with health food enthusiasts.
It all started with TREK Energy Bars; basically an answer to Clif bars without all the syrup. Fruit concentrate and natural sugars from dates means per bar you’re packing away FOUR TEASPOONS of sugar in one bar.
