Hydrolyzed vs hydrogenated,

""Hydrolyzed" means that a chemical compound is split into smaller units in the presence of water; for example, sucrose is split into glucose and fructose. It's a benign process, even though it sounds similar to the "hydrogenation" of which we've been warned. You'll see it primarily referring to additives such as hydrolyzed soy protein, which are harmless and used in such small quantities that they are not a significant factor in your diet.
"Hydrogenation" is the addition of hydrogen atoms in place of the double bonds between carbon atoms in fat molecules. "Hydrogenated" or "fully hydrogenated" means all the double bonds have been replaced; "partially hydrogenated" means some, but not all have been replaced with added hydrogen atoms. Fully hydrogenated oils are solid at room temperature (like Crisco) while partially hydrogenated ones are softer. Many processed foods and margarines use partially hydrogenated oils. Which is worse? Fully hydrogenated vegetable oils resemble ordinary saturated fats, while partially hydrogenated oils have a chemical structure that is found nowhere in nature, so your body doesn't know what to do with them. I avoid both types.
There's also no mention of "Sucralose" in the list of ingredients. The product seems, in my opinion, to be a healthy and satisfying product.
My favorite is the Peanut Butter Caramel Crunch.
I hope this has been helpful."

It's average tasting, but lots of protein,
August 10, 2008
"These were my least favorite of the met-rx protein bars that I've personally tested. It has less calories than the big 100 colossal brand which is good, but towards the end of eating the bar your like, "ughhhhh... no more already!" and then 30 mins later you get a better workout because of the bar so it averages out in the end. Just do a lot of cardio if you consume this.
The choc chip cookie dough one's are very similar in taste, but the edge goes to the choc chip."
