Review on Pure Protein Healthy Support Chocolate by Eric Brooks

Revainrating 1 out of 5

May cause anal leakage

After eating them once a day for several days, I got abdominal pain and constipation. Eventually it turned into a complete loss of stool. This was a common side effect of foods fried on olestra (like Frito-Lay chips) in the '90s because the human body couldn't break down the synthetic fat. Ingredients to bypass the total amount of fat and sugar in the diet's legs are still common. Olestra has several nasty cousins in the "sugar alcohols" family ending in "Itol", which are very common low-sugar flavors used in diet and weight-loss products. Common culprits include orbitol, mannitol, xylitol, as well as erythritol and maltitol. Maltitol is one of the top ten ingredients in this protein bar and has a laxative effect that usually causes diarrhea. After I stopped eating them, this problem went away.

Pros
  • Bars and Drinks
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
