BERKELEY, CA, October 16, 2012 (Press-News.org) Recent headlines and empty store shelves underscore a recurring theme in the natural bar industry - massive product recalls due to contamination issues. Widespread complaints about mold and salmonella found in peanut butter is forcing a few of the top bar brands to pull their bars off the shelf. When the bar industry goes nuts like this, what's safe and healthy for the bar consumer to eat?
Turn to The Good Bean Fruit & No-Nut Bar! Made with whole roasted chickpeas, and 100% gluten-free and non-GMO ingredients, the bars are free of nuts, making them not just a safe choice right now, but also a reduced calorie and reduced-fat treat. The Good Bean bars have 40% fewer calories and 40-60% less fat than fruit & nut bars. Why? Because these bars are made with fiber- and protein-rich roasted chickpeas, which deliver long-lasting fuel while packing in a wallop of deliciousness in the form of flavors such as Chocolate Berry, Apricot Coconut White Chocolate, and Trail Mix with zingy cranberries and orange zest.

"These results are consistent with a protective effect of helmets on cycling deaths."

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that affects approximately 2% of the world's population. A group of inflammatory molecules known as interleukins activate an immune response that causes itchy skin, but it is unclear how the skin cells and immune cells communicate. In a study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers led by Manfred Kopf at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich, Switzerland found that mice lacking interleukin-36 (IL-36) were protected from immune-mediated skin inflammation.
