a small Q- EAS whey bar but contains some soy

[aerowana]

I have a small question. I eat whey protein bar instead of whey shakes after workout, well they are more expensive but convenient. I eat EAS Myoplex deluxe whey protein bar because its good. Contains L-glutamine, zinc and magnesium and whey isolate.

My question is that it also contains partially hydrogenated vegetable oil( cottonseed and soybean) and soy lechitin. Will it have any estrogen side effects if I eat it like 7 bars per week?

Thanks.

no, but Id worry about all the other shit in them....complete junk bro.....switch to a whey and glucose shake..........plus, post-training you want something to digest QUICKLY....no a brick hard bar......take them back and get some protein.........

Hydrogenated oil is not good stuff at all. I am surprised EAS even uses it in their bars. Shame on them !!!

Well it is not exactly hard. Because only the outer coating is deliscious chocolate and when u bite it the insides are powdery.

My main concern is about the estrogens in the hydrogenated soy bean oil and soy lechitin. So, no bad effects?

 

[faller]

No bad effects from the soy. There are probably little phytoestrogens in the oil or lecithin to begin with, plus very little of THOSE in the bar. PLUS you need a boatload of soy for negative effects anyway. On a different note, I'd stay away from partially hydrogenated oils of any kind if possible.

Yup...soy is the LEAST you have to worry about.....they're packed with garb'age.....this a cheat food?

 

[aerowana]

Nope not a cheat food..... not a MRP.... just an after workout food instead of shakes because it is inconvenient for me to bring a large bottle to drink the shake.

What kind of garbage do u mean? Theres zinc, protein, dextrose glutamine taurine and other stuff that are pretty good. Plus CLA for fat loss too....

a shake will be 100X more benefitial...........a shaker and some powder, cmon, it isn't inconvenient..........
