Wondering your thoughts on Cliff bars, first ingredient listed is organic brown rice syrup. most ingredients are organic, label says bars are 70% organic...

    It's a fancy name for sugar.

    Cliff Bars = Marginally healthier than a candy bar. They have about 6 different code names for sugar in them, e.g. brown rice syrup, evaporated cane juice, etc.

    Thank you for asking this question. I had no idea that they were similar to a candy bar. So delicious but not worth it.

    They're delicious, convenient and filling - nothing wrong with sugar, if it fits in your calorie goal, go for it.
