Tell me it aint so ...........Detour Bar
I know this is the wrong forum but it will be seen more here , and I think it is important info......."IF" in fact this is true. Now keep in mind this test was done by another competitor....so take it with a grain of salt if you want.
As promised, I have the lab results from 1 of 4(?) companies that are testing for Detour bar label claims..As for anybody not in the know, the Detour bar is the hottest selling bar in the country..The private supplement store where I manage has sold close to 1000 boxes in the past 6 weeks..Because the bar is appealing to just about everybody, (tastes, feels, and looks like Snickers) we sell probably 5 to 1 Detour to every leading brand..Because of the high marks raised from this protein bar, including their competitor's sales, the major supplement companies cryed foul and sent for independent lab analysis of the Detour bar...It wasn't because the Detour bar doesn't taste good, far from it, but that they believe label claims are misleading to what a fully packed with peanut, caramel and nougat bar should be..One bite from this bar, while scanning the label, sends me to protein bar heaven and label claim hell..
This report is from Shuster labs Shuster labs This analysis was paid for by Nature's Best Inc, a major supplement company in Hauppauge, NY..They make Solid Protein bars, one of many products..It is lab report # 02-6397- project #74680..The Detour bar tested was from lot#121103- Date Dec 17, 2002...
Here they are:

Detour Bar:

I was given this report from a NB rep..I will fax it to anybody who wants it. (pm me) He also mentioned MET-RX has their results and are very similar..He was hush-hush on how they were gonna handle the situation..
I believe these #'s are true..
Do these #'s bother me? Yes, but I expected them..Sugar is the enemy..I want none at all, if possible..Misleading sugar counts are the bane of this society's obesity rates..
How about it? Do these #'s bother you? For anybody eating these bars on a daily basis, have you changed physically? mentally?..weight gain, loss?? low carb diet!!.. So you thought..
Ah, the mind is a terrible thing to use..Everyone's pretty pissed off about it, 1fast will have his lab results of the same product shortly......
