Learn why bars don't get high grades
The health halo of some bars is not always justified. Check the ingredients and sugar content of many and you'll see that they may not be much more than candy in disguise. The higher quality bars are composed of simple, understandable ingredients. But even they are highly sweetened (whether sugar or fruit sources)Bars should be viewed as a snack for once in a while, not a daily meal replacement solution. And that's why they don't get A's.

What's the deal with glycerin?
Glycerin (glycerol, glycerine) is used in products as a sweetener, thickener or preservative.It has the same number of calories as sugar and is about as sweet, but has a lower glycemic index (GI). It should be considered a carbohydrate, but many companies do not properly list it.Glycerin is also used to keep food moist - this same property also can cause water retention.It's generally accepted as healthy and safe. For people with heart, liver or kidney problems, it's best to avoid this ingredient.

Natural flavors added. Learn why
Companies add flavorings to make products taste better. They are created in a lab and the formulations are guarded as trade secrets. Flavorings can compensate for flavor loss during processing, substitute for ingredients, lower production costs and increase shelf stability. Natural flavorings are more expensive to source than artificial flavors, but tend to be better received by consumers.People sensitive to MSG, vegans, vegetarians and those with allergies should pay special attention to the phrase "natural flavorings" since glutamates, animal products or allergens may be the source of natural flavors. You can always contact the manufacturer for more information.

Learn about corn syrup, found here
Corn syrup is often used as a sweetener in processed food. It is NOT THE SAME as high fructose corn syrup. Don't be fooled when looking up the amount of sugar a product contains if corn syrup is listed as an ingredient. This is because corn syrup contains 50% sugar, and 50% of another form of carbohydrate known as "oligosaccharides", which is pretty close to sugar.If a product has less sugar than you think it should, but contains corn syrup in the ingredient list, you'll know that the missing carbs are those oligosaccharides, not much better.
