It was a love at first bite when I had Nutella for the first time in my life. So I almost hated myself when I\u00a0unfortunately googled \u00ab\u00a0Nutella\u00a0\u00bb and discovered its harmful ingredients. The scariest thing that people don’t know about Nutella is that it contains monosodium glutamate (MSG)<\/span><\/strong>, also known as E621. It’s cleverly hidden inside an artificial flavor called vanillin<\/span><\/strong> which is labeled on every Nutella jar. It also contains the toxic GMO<\/span><\/strong> emulsifier soy lecithin and palm oil whose extraction is ravaging forests and wildlife throughout the world.<\/p>\n

In the United States, Ferrero, maker of Nutella, was sued in a\u00a0class action\u00a0lawsuit for false advertising that led some to believe that Nutella carries nutritional and health benefits, being touted as \u2018part of a nutritious breakfast\u2019. They were sued for\u00a0healthwashing<\/a>! In April 2012, they paid $3 million to customers who were part of the claim. The settlement also required Ferrero to make changes to Nutella\u2019s labelling and marketing.

What exactly these changes were are unclear, as they are clearly still healthwashing the heck out of this product.<\/p>\n

Nutella Ingredients:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0sugar, modified palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa, skimmed milk powder, whey powder, lecithin, and vanillin.
\n\"nutella_jar_ingredients-660x495\"<\/a><\/span>Nutritional Breakdown:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span>Nutella contains 70% saturated fat and processed sugar by weight. A two-tablespoon (37 gram) serving of Nutella contains 200 calories, including 99 calories from 11 grams of fat (3.5g of which are saturated) and 80 calories from 21 grams of sugar. In addition, the spread contains 15mg of sodium and 2g of protein per serving.<\/p>\n

Two tablespoons of Nutella contains 21 grams of sugar(!!).<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no reason breakfast can\u2019t be both healthy and delicious, but serving up sugar, modified vegetable oils and processed chocolate in the morning just isn\u2019t the way to go. Seriously people, just make your own Nutella<\/strong><\/a> at home. It’s super easy and delicious.<\/p>\n

Five\u00a0scary ingredients in Nutella\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Suger
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span>Despite the lovely visual of hazelnuts tumbling across the screen in the television commercial, the first ingredient in Nutella is plain old, white, refined, most likely GMO sugar<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0Hazelnuts make their appearance after sugar and palm oil. If we were to name this spread appropriately, we might call it \u201csugar palm oil spread\u201d, but that doesn\u2019t have the right ring to it, doesn’t it? \u00a0Simply put,\u00a0Nutella is just a spreadable candy bar.<\/strong><\/p>\n

High sugar intake first thing in the morning will spike blood sugar levels, resulting in a plummet mid morning and contribute to poor concentration, hyper activity and aggression.
