Doctor Panova warned about the dangers of frequent consumption of protein bars

Nutritionist Olga Panova talked about the potential risks associated with the frequent consumption of protein bars. According to her, such products can cause serious health problems, especially with excessive consumption.

Main Risks

Panova noted that protein bars can:

• Leach calcium from bones
• Increase uric acid levels in the body
• Negatively affect liver and kidney functions, especially with insufficient physical activity or metabolic disorders

Ingredients and Allergens

The composition of the bars often includes components that can cause allergic reactions and digestive disorders. These include:

• Lactose
• Soy
• Gluten
• Nuts

The expert emphasized that it is important to carefully study the product's composition before purchasing.

Sugar and Artificial Additives

Many manufacturers add a large amount of sugar, syrups, artificial components, and flavorings to protein bars. As a result, these snacks become regular sweets with a small addition of protein.

Recommendations

Panova advises not to replace full protein meals with protein bars. The diet should include whole foods: meat, fish, eggs, dairy products. For a healthy person, one or two bars a day is sufficient.

If there is no opportunity to eat, protein bars can serve as a temporary solution, but they should not be overused.
