Wow I just checked out the Protein Bar and it looks perfect in everyway until I saw "sucralose" I just can't handle the artificial sweeteners. Too bad I wish they'd use stevia or some other nutritive type sugar.

seems like she said splenda was the last ingredient and that theres not a lot in there. but we did talk about the artificial sweeteners and that they cause ppl problems. i just have a problems with sugar alcohols i think. i drink juice made with splenda and it doesnt bother me but sugar free coffee at starbucks and sf pudding did!

I hope this isn't a silly question, but what are "PPL problems"? Thanks!

PPL= People

They look great, if you order some or try them out, make sure you post a review. I'd be interested in how big they are, and if they are easily digestable. Some Protein bars just kind of sit in my sleeve like a rock. Others seem to go down great, and don't linger for too long.

sorry, ppl is short for people!

Duh on me!

What kinds of issues do artificial sweetners cause? I've never had issues before, but it might be good to know symptoms in case I develop them post-op.

I have tried the Quest Protein Bars and they are AMAZING. They taste better than most of the Protein bars I've eaten and they're the only ones I've found that don't have an aftertaste.

I always try to eat whole foods when possible but protein bars are super convenient.

I had pretty much given up on protein bars because they are ALL full of sugar or sugar alcohols, glycerin, brown rice syrups, etc.

Quest bars are the first I've seen that are different and I find it interesting that they display their ingredient list right at the top of their homepage because they know that they have managed to do something really different:

They're only available online so I usually place a large order and get free shipping. They're only $1.99 each.

I think you'll really like them.
