CocoaVia Heart Snacks

Sometimes I’ll see something that just causes my brain to lock up. An ad for this website was on an e-mail I recently received. (Thanks, Mom.)

According to the website, their product “Promotes a Healthy Heart… Discover a breakthrough in heart healthy, real chocolate pleasure.”

For comparison, I pulled the nutrition information for a fun sized Snickers bar (my favorite … erm … bulking supplement.)

15g - Serving Size
72 - kCal
3.7g - Fat (1.3 Saturated)
8.9g - Carbs (7.4 Sugar)
.4g - Fiber
1.2g - Protein

Now, I’m no nutritional expert, but if it looks like a candy bar, and walks like a candy bar…

According to this…

It’s a fucking scam! HAHA!

23 gram serving? This chocolate bar weighs less than an ounce! Of course it’s gonna be low-cal/low-fat.

While I know the authors on here have decried soy, just remember that to the outside world, it is heart healthy.

Ok,
I am a trainer and I had someone sign up for a free session. We went through the full session, stretched, and went back to my office and sat down. Now, after I finish a free session we sit down and see if they want to continue. This lady pulls out a leaflet about fucking chocolate and commences to talk at length about the benifits of her chocolate which happened to be the same as this thread.

At a point I asked her if she was just in to sell me chocolate. She replied “no, we might could work a deal if you decided to purchase some product.” I then politely thanked her for wasting my time and told her to leave. Lesson learned. By the way the stuff tasted good. Because it’s FUCKING CANDY!

To the outside world Low fat/High carb was also the way to go. Mention Phytoestrogens to most people, including doctors, and you will recieve a blank stare.

I have no particular problem with natural soy products like Edame, just the crap filler they use in most products.

Here’s something you soy lovers would like to wash down your CocoaVia bars with.
