Energy Bars Are Not Your Best Option

Dr. Mercola's Comment

Americans spend over 90 percent of their money for food on processed foods, so it is absolutely no surprise that these energy bars have become so widely popular. Most people are more than willing to exchange convenience for their health and will not consider changing this potentially disastrous choice unless they are devastated with health problems.

To the best of my knowledge there are currently no healthy energy bars available. The major problems with them are described in the article above.

While I certainly recognize and applaud the need to be practical, these bars fail to fill a major need. That is why I am putting in major efforts to design a bar that will actually promote health.

I still believe that whole, unprocessed high-quality food is the optimum choice, but there are many of us who live a life where it is just virtually impossible to consume this type of food daily. When I was on my media tour promoting my book it would have been nice to have access to a healthy food bar as an alternative to some of the food choices that were available to me.

In the meantime though I usually lug along two raw eggs for every day I am gone, along with a healthy amount of celery. I typically swallow the eggs whole and uncooked along with eating the celery. It is healthier than any hotel breakfast I have ever seen.

Another option for a nutritious convenience food is Living Fuel. Living Fuel Rx contains containing concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals, proteins, essential fats, enzymes, co-enzymes, herbs, botanical extracts, and soluble and insoluble plant fibers in a convenient powder form. Living Fuel Rx is the best convenience food I have come across and its formula has an alkaline pH that will not disturb insulin levels. If you are tempted by fast food or other unhealthy meal choices, consider Living Fuel Rx instead.

But be sure to stay tuned, I have some of the finest food researchers and scientists in the industry working on a food bar that will actually nourish your health, rather than cause disease like virtually all of the present energy bars do.
