- A cardiologist said 3 foods that seem healthy could be harming your heart
Dr. Kyla Lara-Breitinger, a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic, warns that three foods marketed as healthy—protein drinks, granola, and processed 'health' foods—may harm heart health due to high sugar, additives, or artificial sweeteners. These foods can increase risks of heart attack or stroke over time, and she advises opting for whole food protein sources like edamame instead.
