According to nutritionist Meghan Telpner, the spread is so laden with sugar, it should be immediately banned from every breakfast table.
“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,” writes Telpner.
In addition, the spread contains 15mg of sodium and just two sad little grams of protein per serving. The fat content in here wouldn't be a problem if it were from a clean source.

According to The Huffington Post, the habitat destruction and conversion of forest associated with palm oil is “currently the greatest threat” to the future of wild orangutans.
Robert Shumaker, the Indianapolis Zoo’s vice president of conservation and life sciences said:
“Extinction will be the sad reality if forest continues to be destroyed to promote the development of palm oil.”
