Squash - Candy by Any Other Name!

I thought you would like to know this little-known fact about “power bars”…

I’m talking about those so-called energy snacks you eat in place of breakfast or for a quick bite on the run. Have you ever stopped to read the ingredients? If you did, it might ruin your appetite. They are usually full of junk: High-fructose corn syrup… trans fat… sodium… empty carbs… artificial flavors and colors… just to name a few.

The big food makers get away with a lot by calling these product health food. Truth is, they’re not much better than Twinkies, or any other highly processed snack food. And that’s too bad… There are times when you need a healthy snack, especially when you in a rush.
