Did you know healthy snacks could be harming you? 

Have you ever noticed that despite eating what you think are healthy snacks, your health markers don't improve? That's exactly what happened to my mom. Despite her dedication to a "healthy" diet, she was diagnosed with high cholesterol. This alarming discovery led me to dive deeper into the hidden ingredients in our everyday snacks. Little did I know, these supposedly nutritious treats send cholesterol levels through the roof and often nudge its consumers towards prediabetes. But don't worry – I've got some game-changing news for you. Enter Simple Bars, the low-sugar, keto-friendly snacks that are about to revolutionize your pantry. Let's dive into the world of truly healthy snacking and discover how Simple's "allulose difference" sets them apart from those faux-healthy brands.

The Hidden Dangers in "Healthy" Snacks

uties... they're never ending and often stressful, yet nonetheless rewarding. A hectic schedule may arise in-between working a part-time or full-time job, managing a household, and taking care of your own well-being. That’s why we understood that in order for Supermom to resolve every impromptu complication, she needs something simple,  like our SIMPLE bars.

You've probably heard it a million times: "Eat this, it's healthy!" But hold on... not everything marketed as "healthy" is actually good for you. In reality, some of these so-called nutritious snacks might be sabotaging your health goals without you even knowing it. 
In a 2023 New York Times article, Janet Chrzan, an adjunct professor of nutritional anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania explained,, “You can put ‘keto’ or ‘protein’ on a candy bar and sell it, and people don’t even question it.” 
Think you're being virtuous by munching on that granola bar? Think again. Many of these "healthy" snacks are loaded with hidden sugars. You might as well be eating a candy bar! These sneaky sugars can spike your blood glucose levels, potentially leading to insulin resistance and, yep, you guessed it – prediabetes. 

The Fat Trap

Remember when everyone was scared of fat? Well, some "low-fat" snacks compensate by ramping up the sugar content. And let's not forget about trans fats – those nasty little guys that can raise your bad cholesterol (LDL) while lowering the good kind (HDL). Talk about a double whammy!

High cholesterol and prediabetes are common health issues that often go unnoticed until they cause significant damage. According to the American Heart Association, high cholesterol can lead to the buildup of fatty deposits in your blood vessels, increasing your risk of heart disease. The CDC notes that prediabetes affects more than 1 in 3 American adults, with many progressing to type 2 diabetes without lifestyle changes.

So, despite my mom's efforts to eat healthily, it turned out that many of the snacks she relied on were loaded with hidden sugars and unhealthy fats. These ingredients, often listed under names like high fructose corn syrup, maltose, and dextrose, contribute to elevated cholesterol levels and blood sugar spikes. This revelation made me reconsider every snack in our pantry and prompted a search for genuinely healthy alternatives.
