The honest verdict
Is Haribo Goldbears Actually Healthy?
Gummy bears are among the most honest candies: gelatin, sugar, and fruit flavor, with 21g of sugar in a modest handful. The gelatin even contributes a token 3g of protein, which is more than most candy can say. Still candy though, and the low-sugar gummy has gotten good enough that the swap costs you almost nothing.
