What matters more for risk is that bacon is still processed meat (a WHO Group 1 carcinogen) — plus how often ...
Perfect Bars aren’t automatically “healthy” — despite whole-food ingredients like nut butter and honey, their glycemic load can trigger an insulin response that’s nearly identical to a candy bar when eaten outside intense training. An endocrinologist explains how sugar sources, sweeteners, and even snack format (bar vs. shake) shape satiety, fat burning, and metabolic health. ...

Learn how to tell which type you have and what actually works, ...
