Cut Out Sugar and Processed Food What is processed food? Here is a common example
Granola Bars
Processed
Foods Granola Bars
Consider the
granola bar, also known as the cereal bar. They are stuffed with hearty grains
and packaged in boxes featuring mountains and sunrises. So wholesome!
Too bad
granola bars are also loaded with added sugars, which digest quickly and don’t
satisfy hunger for long. Despite their healthy marketing image, granola bars
don’t offer much in the way of good nutrition. Avoid them for their high
simple-carbohydrate count and the long ingredient list filled with
difficult-to-pronounce words.
Probably because non-nutritionists do not take added sugars into account, and even our "healthy" foods are full of them. Nature Valley granola bars, for instance, have 11 grams of sugar per serving. Fiber One oat bars have 8 to 10 grams of sugar, depending on the flavor. Too bad
Are store bought granola bars healthy for you?
