grains
Commercial granola typically contains high amounts of added sugar and inflammatory oils that outweigh the benefits of its whole grain and nut components.
Added Sugars
+1.2
Excess sugar drives insulin resistance, glycation end-products, and inflammatory cytokine release.
Vegetable Oils
+0.5
Often made with high omega-6 oils that promote inflammatory pathways when consumed in excess.
Oats and Nuts
-0.9
Provide some anti-inflammatory fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats that partially offset the negative impacts.
This score is ingredient-based and weighted by DII-inspired evidence. Foods with added sugar, refined starches, and heavy processing trend higher; foods with fiber, omega-3, and polyphenols trend lower.
May contain high FODMAP ingredients like honey, dried fruit, and inulin depending on the brand and formulation.
