Default Re: Powerbars... How Bad?

Powerbars are hard to eat... Try a Clifbar, I buy them by the case at Costco.

If your into endurance events, check out Hammer Nutrition products (Google them). I use them when I go Mt biking.

That has some fat-soluble vitamins at a 100% mark, which means you could overload on them through your regular diet very easily. Not sure that's such a good idea. The B6 is also pretty high. That's water-soluble so it can be pissed out, but still people using any other supplements or drinking fortified shakes might want to be cautious. You can get peripheral neuropathy(numbness usually in fingers) from too much B6.

RDA for almost every vitamin is ridiculously low, its basically a level of what a person would need to stave off disease. i wouldnt worry about overdosing on vitamins from eating a few powerbars a week, thats borderline ridiculous

You've got to do a lot better than that. Whether a vitamin is fat-soluble or not matters. I myself have gotten peripheral neuropathy from too much B-6, and I didn't take all that much. This is not the kind of thing that should be brushed off. That's easier to do with water-soluble vitamins. The obvious exception to the rule, B-6, I fairly pointed out.

ok, you win, the powerbar is an extremely dangerous food product that has caused incredible amounts of death and destruction to any and all who dare consume it

I have cliff bars for the same purpose as powerbars....

Also, the two of you bitching, I think one is talking about "Powerbars" the other about "COMPLETE PRO42 ALMOND ROCKY TRAIL BARs" ...

I take a multivitamin that contains 2500% of daily value of B-6. I probably get 10,000% the daily value of Vitamin C. I agree that RDA are extremely low.

ugh, I cant imagine eating a powerbar as a snack. They are so damn nasty.

Do yourself a favor and go buy some clifbars, they taste about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000 times better. Chocolate chip peanut butter ones are money, but all the flavors are pretty good.

Seriously, youll never eat another power bar again.

Every vitamin is not the same, and so statements like "the RDA is extremely low" shouldn't be taken as though they apply equally to every vitamin. This is especially the case with fat soluble vitamins, as they don't simply get peed out, but get stored up instead. When it comes down to disagreement with standards, there's no point throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
