Your Protein Bar Is Making You Fat

40 minutes

This week, we’re breaking down one of the most controversial brands in food right now: David Protein.

From a $700M+ valuation to antitrust lawsuits and claims their macros might be completely off—this is the story of how a “perfect” protein bar turned into a legal and scientific mess.

We get into:

The founder behind RXBAR’s second act

The controversial ingredient (EPG) that makes the whole product possible...

The class action lawsuit claiming their calories are underreported by 83%

And the Epstein file fallout involving Peter Attia, their former Chief Scientific Officer

And despite all of this… the brand is still selling like crazy.

So the real question is:

Is David Protein a genius business—or a ticking time bomb?
