I can’t find information on what bacteria they are using (would be good to know what they’re putting in your food, wouldn’t it?) and what this organic material shell is made of. If this material is so tough to withstand baking and other processing, as well as stomach acids, I wonder whether the bacteria are ever released into the gut at all. What good would it do in a tough casing like that?

New on the Market: Pop Culture Probiotic Bars

If you want the short version, here it is: Fiber One Oat and Chocolate Chewy Bars are fabulous!

They taste great, not too sweet, with just the right amount of chocolatey goodness for the flavor, but not too much to make you feel like you’re eating a chocolate bar instead. I find the texture just right: chewy, but not rough, not dry, doesn’t crumble, and doesn’t take ages til you can swallow without injuring your throat.

On the nutritional viewpoint, one bar is supposedly enough to provide 35% of your daily dietary requirement for fiber. What’s fiber good for? Aside from keeping you “regular”, fiber intake has also been documented to help prevent cancer, lower blood cholesterol, and improve blood sugar control. I am surprised that none of these health claims appear on the package label of Fiber One.

Aside from fiber, they are also a good source of calcium (10% of daily value), has no trans-fats and clocks up only 140 calories per bar. They’re perfect as snacks for those always on the go.
