Contains naturally occurring trans-fats!
This product contains naturally occurring trans-fats, and it might not be that bad for you!! We all know, or should know, that food companies artificially create trans-fat by shooting hydrogen molecules into liquid vegetable oil and that trans fat is bad for your health, but some products contain naturally occurring trans fats that might not be so bad for you. How can this be? Naturally occurring trans-fats are produced in the gut of ruminants or animals that chew their cud (think cattle, sheep, goats, buffalo and deer). Meat from these animals or anything derived from these animals (milk and butter) may have naturally occurring trans-fats in the form of Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and trans-vaccenic acid (VA). These trans-fats are chemically different from the industrial created trans fats and thus are not as harmful. In fact, CLA and VA may even help to prevent heart attacks, increase your HDL cholesterol (the good kind), and reduce the risk of cancer! Fats from grass fed dairy and meat are the best sources of CLA and VA. There has even been research done that shows that 100% grass-fed animal products contain from three to five times more CLA than products from animals fed grain. Sources: ----------- Conjugated linoleic acid is an activator and ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) Belury, Martha A et al.Nutrition Research , Volume 22 , Issue 7 , 817 - 824 Corl, Benjamin A., et al.

Very high in saturated fat
Not all fats are created equal. Saturated fats are the ones responsible for bad cholesterol buildup in our blood vessels, as well as contributing to coronary disease.

Puffed up with protein?
Protein is important, but some of the protein you find in this product isn't exactly natural. The protein comes from one of the following sources: - milk protein concentrate - whey protein isolate - soy protein isolate While it's fine to get some of your protein from supplemented items, keep in mind that they are not "natural" sources and that it's not ideal to get protein only from processed goods. If you're looking for more protein, try beans, quinoa, nuts, seeds, peas and spinach & leafy greens. Not only do they have protein, they're filled with other vitamins and minerals.
-
Highly Processed!
This product is highly processed. If you'll take a look at its ingredient list, you'll discover new words to add to your vocabulary. Many of theses ingredients are required to increase the shelf life of the product and improve the flavor that disappears when food is not fresh.

Contains MSG-like ingredients
People sensitive to MSG may also be sensitive to MSG-like substances. These are glutamates or chemically similar items added to improve a product's taste. Here is a short list of common MSG-like substances (see our blog for more): - Yeast extract - Autolyzed yeast - Hydrolyzed proteins ---- Source: Scopp AL.

Watch the cholesterol...
While cholesterol has been shown to be less harmful than once believed, you should not consume more than 300mg a day. This product contains more than 10% of your daily cholesterol intake. If you're on a low cholesterol diet, make sure you pay attention to portion: 10% of your daily allowance can quickly become 50% when a hamburger turns into double cheeseburger. Trouble sticking to daily goals? Try limiting your meat, cheese and dairy intake to one item per meal and avoid items with multiple sources of cholesterol (like chicken with ham and cheese, breakfast sandwiches with sausage and cheese or bacon cheeseburgers). Opt for items like BLT's, chicken sandwiches with veggies and meatless pizza. Choose water and not milk for your main mealtime beverage.
