They aren't as good for you as you think.

Got it. Quest bars are toxic because they contain Monk fruit and Sucralose.

Sorry not buying the info that blog is selling.
Show me the science not the opinions.0 -
"Whenever we see natural flavors added to a product, we try to imagine what it would taste like without them. Added flavors are made in labs and serve to mask the lack of flavor of the other ingredients in the product. Ask yourself this – do you need to add natural flavors to food you prepare at home?"
YES! OF COURSE. have you never added vanilla extract to your baking??? of course you use natural flavors to your food, because natural flavors ENHANCE the flavor, not mask, not fake, enhance. this is just fear mongering.0 -
I love fanboys. Enjoy your snacks.0

Thanks for reminding me I need to order more.0

Yeah, I really don't understand why these are so popular. They don't taste that great or special, they taste like a flavored protein bar. Back to the article... I see the blogs point, would be better if there were scientific sources to some of the casual claims. Which is a pet peeve of mine.0

More integrity from Quest.
Ha ha!

I had my first Quest bar because my friend gave me one when I was hungry. I though it was tasty.
I am in the best shape of my life and I eat whatever I want. I know companies try to sell me their products with lies. I just eat what tastes good to me.0 -

Because I'm bored I even went and looked at this... Did you even read the whole thing? Cause here's a part taken from the link you posted:
"But let’s pretend for second, hypothetically, that the claims ARE true. Even then, it doesn’t change my opinion of Quest Bars AT ALL from a nutritional PoV (ethics aside).
The primary claim is a drastic overstatement of fiber content. Personally, I eat Quest bars — and I believe most others do, too — because they’re a clean, HQ protein delivery mechanism. The fiber is a nice little added bonus; like the sprinkles on top of a decadent red velvet cupcake. But they have so many other strong pluses — low sugar, HQ protein content, extremely clean ingredients, and a stevia sweetened line — that even if you cut the fiber down from 17g to 5g, they’d still be marginally better than almost every other protein bar anyway.
And if you’re worried about a potentially *unthinkable* 20% jump in calories, it’s a net increase from 170 to 204 per bar. 34 calories. Gasp.
The Bottom Line: Keep your Quest Bars and continue eating them without thinking twice about it."0 -

You fail so bad that it isn't even funny. From your own link:
What we do know is that ConsumerLab, an independent testing agency, tested the nutritional content in Quest’s Banana Nut Muffin unprompted. The results? Everything — including calorie and fiber content — was identical to Quest Bar labels. 2

They're not that great. Just the newest trend if you ask me. I feel the same way about all protein bars (just candy bars for fitness people). I love them, but still think of them as a treat. Don't get why people are making such a big deal over them.0

A company that lies about one thing, is sure to lie about others. I was just putting out info I found. Eat whatever makes you happy.0 -
The first rule of fight club SHOULD be:
Don't state information about Quest bars.0 -

What part of "Tested by independent lab on their own accord, product contains what label says" do you not grasp?0 -
I've heard it all before.
