I see no reason other than profit that the manufacturer would use cheap palm oil in a product being marketed as a health food. One bar has 25% of the maximum saturated fat you should get in one day. Why not substitute a monosaturated fat that will lower cholesterol rather than use one that raises it?I also don't need it to be loaded with vitamins and minerals as they are easily taken in a daily pill. Additionally, the texture is like day-old uncooked brownie mix. But it tastes OK relative to other health food bars I've tried and has 10 mg of protein which is good.Might I recommend instead Clif Bars that taste better, cost almost 1/3 less per ounce, have 70% less saturated fat, 60% more fiber, less calories in a bigger bar, and taste better.
