Maybe if you think about this, have you ever tried to mold protein yourself and hold it together? Pretty tough. Now, I wonder just what kind of fillers they use to bind things together. And when are they made? There is one top company I know of that wil to this day still not make a protein bar due to the fact that they cannot make a "quality" bar to their standards. And they have been around since the 60's doing this. So, when I have to have one, I look for the most variety of proteins in it(prefferably isolates and hydrolosates), egg protein, etc., very low sugar, 2-3 gr. tops, and as small a list of "extra'" ingredients as I can find. -------------- Failing to plan is like planning to fail!
