Wheat flour is the first ingredient, and they aren't overly sweet. Considering a lot of the riders in the Tour de France and Olympic athletes use them, I kinda doubt there as junky as you may think. All in all, I kinda regret posting this, as I'm not a fool, and wasn't trying to steer people towards some horrible food. This forum isn't for me, I don't like to argue, and will gladly concede others are far better than me, but hike no farther and enjoy themselves any more. Vaya con Dios. If that offends, I can live with it.
