Power Bar is not that great, at all.   Don't eat them, please.  I don't.  Why? It has loads of high fructose corn syrup which is no good for human beings.  To say the least, food with loads of HFCS is junk food.
<br>
<br>Here is a detailed explanation, cited from www.drweil.com
<br>  
<br>"Yes, there is a difference between fructose and High Fructose Corn Syrup. Fructose is fruit sugar, a simple sugar that makes up one-half of the moleclue of sucrose or table sugar. (The other half is glucose, usually called grape or blood sugar.) Fructose tastes sweeter than sucrose but has fewer calories because the body does not metabolize it well. This has led some people to recommend crystalline fructose as a low-calorie alternative to regular sugar. I do not agree with that recommendation.
<br>
<br>The body doesn't handle large amounts of fructose well. You can maintain life with intravenous glucose, but not with intravenous fructose; severe derangement of liver function results. There's also evidence that a high intake of fructose elevates levels of circulating fats, (serum triglycerides), increasing the risk of heart disease. I never use fructose in my home.
<br>
<br>High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a recent invention of the food industry, made by an enzyme-mediated process. Old-fashioned corn syrup is less sweet and contains mostly glucose. HFCS matches sucrose in sweetness but is significantly cheaper. It has been considered a "revolutionary" food science innovation because it retains moisture and prevents drying, controls crystallization, blends with other sweetners, acids and flavorings. Manufacturers love it, and it has become the main sweetner used in processed foods today. Everything from soft drinks and juices to salad dressings, ketchup, jams, jellies, ice cream and many others.
<br>
<br>HFCS contains 14 percent fructose. Never before in history have so many people been consuming so much fructose, and I am concerned about its possible disruptive effects on metabolism. I'd advise you not to buy products made with HFCS and not to feed them to your kids. In general, they are low-quality foods anyway."

从瑞士带回一盒瑞士产ENERGY SNACK，口感极好，半分钟内被山友们疯狂吞咽而下。能量补充效果？按照他们的话说：“没觉得怎么着！”可能是吃得少，一人一条。
