Very interesting article from dailymail.co.uk about Nutella.
Firstly, some interesting facts about the popularity of Nutella
"A jar is sold every 2.5 seconds globally. The company produces enough Nutella each year to create a smear of spread that would circle the world 1.4 times. Stacked up, the jars would build 22,000 Big Bens."
Secondly, is Nutella is actually not that healthy even with hazelnuts as one of the ingredient
"More than half of Nutella (56.7 per cent) is pure sugar, while 30 per cent is fat. Some of that is the fat found in hazelnuts, but around 20 per cent of the spread is semi-solid palm oil. Just 13 per cent is hazelnuts.
Its makeup — in terms of cocoa, sugar and fat — is almost identical to chocolate. Despite the hazelnuts, there aren’t many healthy nutrients. Claiming it’s good for you is like arguing that you get some of your five a day by eating Cadbury’s Fruit & Nut."
So will you stop eating Nutella?
