I know I won't be able to eat them because most Lunabars contain inulin (chicory or Jerusalem artichoke extract) and some contain fructose and/or apple juice which is high in excess fructose. Inulin is added to increase the soluble fiber content. The blueberry bliss lists inulin as the third ingredient. The total dietary fiber in this bar is 5 grams of which 1 gram is insoluble fiber. It is likely that most of the 4 grams of soluble fiber comes from the added inulin. Heather has written about problems with inulin on the web site and in some her newsletters.

Good luck
