The Nutrition Facts (and beyond)
Tasty Truths leads among similar competitors in overall nutrition. Going beyond the nutrition label, we use high-quality ingredients. Notice how we abstain from derived proteins, fibers, and sugar alcohols or non-sugar sweeteners.
Protein
Not all proteins are created equal. Bioavailability describes the quality of the protein based on content of different amino acids required by human body for muscle building. The peanuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, and chia seeds found in our bars are some of the most bioavailable nuts/seeds out there.
Fiber
Bars with derived fiber often rely on solely soluble or insoluble fiber, which can cause digestive issues. Chicory root fiber, a common derived fiber, is particularly irritable for the gut. Derived fibers, similar to derived proteins, are highly processed and thus lack naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, etc. However, they can be great additions to your diet, depending on the quality.
Sugar alcohols (artificial sweeteners) & non-sugar sweeteners (stevia, etc)
While sugar alcohols don't appear on the nutrition label as added sugar, they have been linked to digestive issues and. Some findings even suggest increased risk of cardiovascular disease, although this is still debated. As for non-sugar sweeteners (NSS), in a recent review the World Health Organization found NSS can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and mortality in adults.
