3 tsp of sugars per serving

Over 50% of daily saturated fat!
Not all fats are created equal. Saturated fats are the ones responsible for bad cholestrol buildup in our blood vessels, as well as contributing to coronary disease.Some recent studies are refuting this claim. They explain that removal of saturated fats from our diet and their replacement with processed carbs has led to an increase in obesity and heart disease.There is no doubt that processed carbs are bad for you. But that does not mean that returning to saturated fats is good.

More than 16% daily fiber!
Fiber is an extremely important part of your daily diet. Its best known benefit is its ability to help keep our bowels moving. Eating enough fiber will help prevent constipation. The added benefit is that it also plays a role in protecting against diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. If that isn’t enough reason to get a daily dose of fiber, it also helps with weight management by helping to keep you fuller longer.The best sources of fiber are whole foods, not processed foods to which fiber has been added.

A good natural source of iron

Learn about soy lecithin, found here
Lecithins are oily substances that occur naturally in plants (soybeans) and animals (egg yolks). Soy lecithin possesses emulsification properties. This means it can keep a candy bar "together" by making sure that the cocoa and the cocoa butter don't separate. It is also used in bakery items to keep the dough from sticking and to improve its ability to rise.

Yay! No artificial colors
Good choice! No artificial colors in this according to our last product update.Gum, mints and candy, while you're only consuming just a little bit, can have some added elements you don't want - like artificial colors. Parents of children sensitive to artificial colors report reactions from tiny doses. Many people on special diets avoid them and others are actually allergic to them. And the good news is that this product has none!
