Granola
A mixture of whole grains, oats, nuts and dried fruit sounds harmless and in fact healthy?
But wait, I have not mentioned that it is coated in canola oil, butter and lots of sugar! A study has shown that a bowl of granola can contain more sugar than a can of coke. Sugar raises insulin level which can further heighten pain sensitivity thus causing more discomfort in fibromyalgia patients. Additionally, sugar also promotes growth of yeast which can lead to infections. Certain no-sugar products can contain Aspartame an excitotoxin which elevates the sensitivity to pain.
