The Yuka Breakdown 🤓
Kind bars contain 32% less sugar and 89% less sodium than Nutri-Grain bars.
In addition, Kind bars are free from risky additives, whereas Nutri-Grain bars contain several controversial ones — including three assessed as high-risk:
- Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids: This additive may increase the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. It is also suspected of disrupting gut flora, which could result in an increased risk of autoimmune and allergic diseases, as well as inflammatory diseases. (sources)
- Dicalcium phosphate: This additive contains phosphorus, a mineral whose current intake levels exceed recommendations, and whose excess may disrupt bone mineralization, have a harmful effect on the kidneys, and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Additionally, it could be present in the form of nanoparticles, which may accumulate in organs. (sources)
- Carrageenan: This additive could increase the risk of developing breast cancer. It is also suspected of significantly disrupting the gut microbiota and causing chronic intestinal inflammation, which could contribute to the development of chronic diseases. Our current consumption of carrageenan may, in some cases, exceed the level of health concern. (sources)
