COD
This is a worthwhile chart if like me, you believe that eating foods w/high complete protein to calorie ratio (CP:CR) is important for satiety and health. Aside from the mispronunciation, Seitan is one I will look into more as I generally veer toward animal based CP:CR proteins.
David teased the Boiled Cod product on its website months ago…
Our latest innovation. Due to Epg constraints
Our commitment to protein has led us to a strange place. Boiled cod. We're selling it now.

Excited to share that David has raised $75M in our Series A and acquired one of our key suppliers, Epogee. This funding and acquisition give us the ability to scale production, expand retail distribution, and accelerate development of new products designed to help people build…

David Protein Bar. At first glance, their marketing might convince you that it's healthy. In reality—it's a nuclear bomb for your gut, metabolism, and overall health. Here is a breakdown: 🧵
If “eating like our ancestors” is the gold standard, remind me: when exactly were they drinking blended, filtered, sulfited, non-alcoholic wine, processed through proprietary industrial methods like your brands Surely / Arlow wines? Or shelf-stable bone broth that has gone…
11/ Our ancestors evolved to eat whole foods, and never encountered modified plant fats, artificial sweeteners, or isolated protein compounds. Yet today, we're flooding our systems with these lab-created substances. I'm afraid David bar is just more of the same.
This is a very odd criticism from someone failing to disclose his own consumer packaged good products, including one that contains alcohol, marketed as "healthy."
10/ What frustrates me is that these bars are marketed as "healthy" to people trying to improve their diet. Will this kill you? Unlikely, but it's sure not the health product the company would like you to believe.
Yes, processing cocoa powder will decrease antioxidant levels compared to raw cocoa. This is true and we use this ingredient because we can create a better tasting bar with deacidified cocoa powder. Similarly, roasting coffee beans will decrease their levels of flavonols, but…
9/ Then, there's the cocoa. Their cocoa is processed with alkali (Dutch process), meaning it's been treated with potassium carbonate to neutralize its acidity. This significantly reduces the flavanol content - the compounds responsible for many of chocolate's health benefits.
This is not a helpful comment because all food is, by definition, made up of chemical compounds. For example, a simple orange contains a complex mix of around 400 chemical compounds. That doesn’t make oranges bad. While you may teach a 4 year-old to use heuristics like “chemicals…
8/ Then in "less bad but still not ideal" territory we have natural flavors, the industry's favorite trick. Under FDA rules, this single term can hide over 100 different chemicals (propylene glycol, preservatives like BHA/BHT, MSG).. All without disclosure on the label.
As you said, maltitol has a Glycemic Index of 35. This is exactly why it’s a great ingredient. It has only half of the glycemic impact of sugar, but 75-90% of the sweetness. Additionally, it only provides ~2 calories per gram vs. sugar which provides 4 calories per gram. If you’d…
7/ Maltitol has a glycemic index of 35 (compared to 65 for table sugar), meaning it still impacts your blood sugar significantly. And the digestive effects? Let's just say there's a reason Amazon reviews for sugar-free gummy bears are comedy gold.
