Today I learned that Nutella is not good for you. Horror. I had just bought my first ever jar of the stuff. I've had it once before I think back when I was a high school babysitter. But for some reason the other day I decided to pick some up at Publix.
First of all, it's tasty on a piece of whole wheat bread. But it contains a bunch of refined sugar and lots of saturated fat in the form of Palm Oil. I looked up Palm Oil and there are some differing opinions on if its that bad for you. My feeling is that there are some good elements to a minimally processed coconut oil (lauric acids, etc) but a heavily processed palm oil is probably not so good. So anyway - thermogenic fat burners aside, I think I will se Nutella as a rare treat not a "part of a nutritious breakfast.
