Are fig rolls bad for you?
In excess they are, just like everything else, but in moderation you should come to no harm.
Reply:They are better for you than other biscuits. Not too sweet and have some fibre. Not sure how many would count for a portion of your five a day though. I think that would be counter productive!
Reply:???no but you will be "regular" over a few days if you eat too many.???
Reply:My midwife told me to eat them to ease constipation!!
Reply:It depends on how many you are planning on eating at one sitting. One or two a day should not hurt you unless you already have some health concerns such as diabetes, in fact it could be very beneficial to your digestive health.



Like anything in life too much of a good thing is no longer a good thing. Too many fig bars can cause several problems the least of which will keep you in the bathroom.

Reply:If you like them eat them!
Reply:they're no worse than most other biscuits, probably better than most, considering they have a bit of dried fruit in, instead of just sugar, fat and flour.
Reply:Because of the pastry and sugar its high in fat content and thats bad for your heart
Reply:Yes they are, sorry ......
