Nothing, really. They're fairly low in carbs, only 21 usable carbs in total since you're supposed to subtract fiber because it can't be digested. Low in calories, provide a bit of calcium and probably taste good.
Downsides that I've noticed include that, while low in fat, there isn't any good fat in them. The sugar isn't that much, but given the small size of snack bars like this, it's probably a lot of sugar for only 3-4 bites of food...same with the calories, they're low in calories but you have to factor in the size of the bar and how much it will fill you up. Also, one of the bigger downsides for ME, PERSONALLY, is that this is a tasty and easy access snack that is just plain binge bait. I wouldn't want these in my apartment, because I know I might be prone to eating one...then eating four more...then crying.
Overall, they aren't going to be bad for you and will be good if you don't have time to eat. People bitching about corn syrup are dickfucks, there's corn syrup in just about everything. It's not the corn syrup you worry about, but how much is in the product.
I have to agree with other anons, though, if you have the time for it, just make oatmeal or even eat Fiber One cereal since you're going to get a lot more food and less sugar for the same amount of calories.
