Healthy Foods That Are Actually Doing You Harm

Granola

Granola seems healthy. It’s made mostly of grains and cereals, so it must be good for you, right? Alas, there’s another ingredient in granola that makes it palatable: sugar. Processed sugar is one of the worst things you can eat if you’re trying to be healthy, as the body stores excess sugar as fat. If you want the benefits of healthy grains without all the sugar, pick your brands carefully, or go with a bowl of plain oatmeal flavored with fresh fruit.
