Still Curious?

Why D?

While it offers 15g of protein, this bar contains high levels of sugar (nearly 10g), a significant amount of saturated fat, and a long list of processed ingredients including glucose syrup, invert sugar syrup, and various emulsifiers and flavorings. It's more of a candy bar with added protein than a truly healthy option.
