Calorie vs. Kilocalorie

According to the article, a calorie is the energy req'd to raise the tempera ture of one gram of water one degree celsius. This is true, however the food Calorie (note capitalization), or Kilocalorie, is the unit for measuring food energy content. One gram of fat contains 9 Kilocalories of energy, not nine calories. I will go ahead and make the changes to the article. :) 24.18.50.37 00:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

From Wikipedia's own article on Calorie:

A convention of capitalising "Calorie" to refer to the kilogram calorie, with uncapitalised "calorie" referring to the gram calorie, is sometimes proposed, but neither recognized in any official standards, nor commonly followed.

Perhaps we could explain this in the article somehow (parenthetical?). At any rate, liter should definitely not be capitalized. - Jhinman 00:23, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I don't see any reason why we need to explain the definition of calorie here at all; the use of the calories when relating to food is well-understood. I removed the explanation, and instead linked to the Calorie article. - Jhinman 00:29, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Hippocrates

That quote from Hippocrates is completely unnecessary and has nothing to do with the article at hand.-DMCer 08:43, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Yep. I removed it. Lloydic (talk) 20:07, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Removed some stuff

I shortened the section on energy drinks as it was mostly uncited claims of energy bar and drink manufactures, e.g. "Energy bars provide a massive amount of fuel..." I will probably do the same with the "Nutrition facts" section if no one objects. --Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 09:35, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Nutritional value

Added to the usage of energy bars and the title was very vague and short so i added as well to that. The nutrition part also needed more details so i added some. lijiaLijiaH (talk) 19:07, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

As indicated in this reversion, the Temple University source is not accessible to the public, so can't be used. It's also not possible to know if the vrg.org site and data are reliable or up to date. Better to use the trusted USDA site for nutrient content of foods. You have a misunderstanding of what an "antioxidant" is. The only dietary antioxidants are vitamins A-C-E, whose levels in an energy bar would be determined by manufacturing and purposely added as ingredients. PMID 25892802 is preliminary research, so unusable. WP:SCIRS reviews are needed here. The other ingredients and macronutrients you mention are additives that vary in content according to the manufacturer, so are too variable to discuss without a good review. It's true that this article is just a stub and needs expansion with high-quality sources, but I feel your edit didn't add much that can be supported. --Zefr (talk) 19:52, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
