Its flavor, that exquisite mix between sweet, salty and an unspeakable something, makes Snickers one of the most desirable industrialized foods. It’s almost impossible to find someone who has tried a Snickers and disliked it. However, do you really know what you are eating?
In the already traditional x-ray of products made by the organization El Poder del Consumidor, this time it presents us, thanks to expert analysis, a zoom into the ingredients of the delicious but harmful Snickers, the conclusion of the article: it is not recommended even as a snack.
Look what you eat when you consume a 52.7 g Snickers:
A single piece contains 112% of the maximum tolerable sugar that an adult needs.
Likewise, a single piece, in the case of a child, covers 146% of the maximum tolerable daily sugar. (Imagine the pump that you are giving).
30% of the product is saturated fat, which is the most difficult to digest.
The product indicates that it contains two artificial flavorings, but does not specify which ones.
In the case of sodium, it covers 8.3% of what is needed daily by a child and 6.2 for an adult. According to The Power of the Consumer, although these amounts do not seem serious, they are actually large if the additional daily consumption of sodium in other foods is considered.
