I do recommend 1fast400.com and I think they have great prices and service, and as far as PH's it's the best place to get them, which I have said this in many threads.

As IAB pointed out I did not recommend DPS, I simply stated that is where I got them, and then explained to TP I did so because of price.

Sorry, I am not made of money and 1fast400.com does not give me any discounts, so I tend to shop based on price. :shrug:
 
I have to say I try to avoid bars...but I am not against them...for me they just cause too many cravings. That said I had my first Detour bar a couple weeks ago...finally....and it's been downhill since then...those things are amazing BUT definately EVIL:mad:

These are OK? They have partially hydrogenated shit in it.

i am, i was in a pinch, my stepsons said they grabbed my cooler before we left on our trip.:rolleyes: bars are a last resort for me.:cool:
 
On detour bars I don't go direct as I'm not a big bar pusher. I still stay with my wholesaler which hurts me in some ways. He helped me when I was small, so I told him I would stay with him through this year, then I'm going direct with about everybody. It is cool, I don't mind guys mentioning other sites.
 
How long is 2 cases going to last you Prince? :D :lol:
 
Detour Bar Lab Results

Preliminary Info to Avoid Flames:

1) I checked this thread and did not see any info on this post
2) I'm not making the statement below I found it on another forum and thought it might be useful to the discussion
3) I'm only posting this for discussion purposes, I'm not in agreement with this disagreement with the below.
4) Please don't bash me and ask me how I can say this.. refer to #2. I just found this. Did not write it. No ideas if it's true or not. Never seen the authenticate or actural report.

With that said, here's the post I found:

Detour Bar Lab Results


As promised, I have the lab results from 1 of 4(?) companies that are testing for Detour bar label claims..As for anybody not in the know, the Detour bar is the hottest selling bar in the country..The private supplement store where I manage has sold close to 1000 boxes in the past 6 weeks..Because the bar is appealing to just about everybody, (tastes, feels, and looks like Snickers) we sell probably 5 to 1 Detour to every leading brand..Because of the high marks raised from this protein bar, including their competitor's sales, the major supplement companies cried foul and sent for independent lab analysis of the Detour bar...It wasn't because the Detour bar doesn't taste good, far from it, but that they believe label claims are misleading to what a fully packed with peanut, caramel and nougat bar should be..One bite from this bar, while scanning the label, sends me to protein bar heaven and label claim hell..

This report is from Shuster labs Shuster labs This analysis was paid for by Nature's Best Inc, a major supplement company in Hauppauge, NY..They make Solid Protein bars, one of many products..It is lab report # 02-6397- project #74680..The Detour bar tested was from lot#121103- Date Dec 17, 2002...

Here they are:



Lab results:

protein- 19.5g
fat- 13.2g
carbs- 34.2g
sugar- 19.4g




Detour Bar Label Claims:

protein- 32g
fat- 9g
carbs- 21g
sugar- 6g



I was given this report from a NB rep.. He also mentioned MET-RX has their results and are very similar..He was hush-hush on how they were gonna handle the situation..

I believe these #'s are true..
Do these #'s bother me? Yes, but I expected them..Sugar is the enemy..I want none at all, if possible..Misleading sugar counts are the bane of this society's obesity rates..
How about it? Do these #'s bother you? For anybody eating these bars on a daily basis, have you changed physically? mentally?..weight gain, loss?? low carb diet!!.. So you thought..
Ah, the mind is a terrible thing to use
 
I stopped eating these like, three days ago, but OMG.. :sob:

I knew they tasted too good to be true. DP and Jodi told me.. I stopped but still hoped *sigh* :no:
 
Keep us posted on the the fax. I would love to see the lab results, working in the industry, and because I am an avid detour bar and uturn bar consumer.

If you get it would you mind emailing it or faxing it to me? You can email me at:

twinpeak@avantlabs.com

BTW, your post was solid, not sure why you were afraid of getting flamed....
 
Cool link... Even 1fast400.com shows 14g of sugar a bar and yet the label (according to just the product description on the same site) shows 9g.

That is a pretty huge difference.

Granted the rest of the items are close. But jez. I can see a gram off.. or whatever.. but that kind of discrepency is just plain false (frame of reference is just the sugar claims at this point).

Thanks for the link Twin Peak. Just goes to show the label is a lil' bit off (at least for sugar that is).
 
If I get the fax.. I will most certainly find some way of making it public (so people following this thread can just download it or autorespond from my site.)

While my post was solid (thanks!) There can be people who would have skipped the top portion and read the claim and then blasted me for "how can you say this.. where's the proof).

I just wanted to CYA before I posted so I could refer to Bullets 1-4.

I'm not making any claims. I'm just curious if this is real, wanted to bring it up.. and of course if I can find more info I will and I will share that as well.

I'll e-mail you if the person ever does get back to me.
 
If they don't I'd be suspicious.

BTW, read the CEM thread....funny that Mike, 1fast400, already responded their....and I hadn't read it until now.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to check out your site.
 
BTW, if someone blasts you, and hasn't read your entire post, you have every right to flog them, repeatedly.
 
Well.. I work in a corporate envrionment (meaning versed in CYA tactics).. I wrote the post so that if it does happen (assuming it will not) that it would be very easy to just point to a # and leave it at that.

I just found this thread interesting.. and I found the other post interesting.

I really hope the individual was the original poster (kinda seemed like it from the CEM thread) and will respond back. I mean, they said PM me for the report. So they knew they were gonna get some requests.

We'll see. I'll keep you update if I ever get some REAL proof.

What is this??

Hey, what do I look like the ingredient police???

Honestly, I am not 100% on this but I am pretty sure it is just what it sounds like, and it is found in small quantities in almost everything you eat.

Sorry to break that to you.

If it makes you feel any better, that is nothing compared to the fact that rodent feces is often found in government testing of most food facilities, and if it is below a certain amount that is fine. :D

Geesh,

That made my day :barf:

Personally I find the fact that it is PERMITTED more disturbing.
 
On to the question: Ash is residue from any kind of feedstuff/food product that is left over after the product has been heated to ~ 500C or more. They often heat different food products (sugars, fiber, additives to change the consistency to meet the needs of the food.

this is a big concern to me cause I eat a Detour bar every day.

I hear you. I don't eat them every day, as I cycle my kcals and carbs, but when I eat them I eat 2-3 in a day.
 
Prince,

As soon as I find out.. I'll PM you (and Twin Peaks) with whatever info I can find.. if anything at all.

I will follow up with this the best I can. I do not eat these bars but I am interested (because I do supplement) in the validity of this claim.

I understand the concern. I'll do my best to find something other then just a post off another board.

I posted to continue the discussion because if it is FALSE the rumors should end here. But if it's TRUE, then people need to know because they might have made different choices given the correct information.

At the moment, I'm neutral until I can get something a bit more hard-copy.

Stand-by...:wait:
 
I am going with Mike's report until proved conclusively to the contrary.
