Granola bars
While granola consists of dried fruits, nuts, and, of course, rolled oats, it can still be unhealthy. Because manufacturers tend to sweeten them with lots of sugar or HFCS, most granola bars found at your local supermarket aren’t exactly what they claim to be.
In fact, if you read the labels carefully, some granola bar brands have more added sugar than some candy bars. For instance, a single ounce of a popular granola bar brand contains more added sugar than a candy bar. Luckily, there’s some good news, too. Some companies sweeten their granola bars naturally.
So, again, always check the labels to make sure you’re getting the best of the best.
