I knew it. Peanut butter wins.

Peanut butter tastes like cat vomit. There is a reason everyone outside the US rejected it.

C'mon now. Natural peanut butter is (extremely) nutty, oily, and salty. Those are 3 things human beings like (give or take nutty).

Honestly peanuts aren't very healthy for you, 7 almonds a night like Obama is how you do it. Almond butter probably isn't as healthy either but we're talking decent in some ways for your body, vs. pure trash for your body (Nutella)

I think it's called canola oil now to prevent people from saying rapeseed.

Just wanted to correct this misinformation:
"Canola was created through plant-breeding in order to get rid of two undesirable components of rapeseed"

Outer space also causes cancer.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Nutella IS cancer.

[Bruce Springsteen]

I've tried many different chocolate hazelnut spreads, organic..., Nutella still TASTES the best, by far actually

 

[CrispyBoar]

They should just make a list of things that do not cause cancer. To save us time.

I'm up for it.

wtf

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Now we can finally ban it.

 

[Prelude.]

I have no idea if it's sold outside of Italy, but you should eat this instead.

No palm oil and it's better than Nutella.

Well you guys eat butter and cheese on bread and call it a sandwich so I doubt you're some authority on good food.

Although a Nutella sandwich is probably the only thing worse than a EuroStrugWich.

Here is it:

 

[Log4Girlz]

Personal bump. This thread gave me the kick in the ass I needed and made me re-examine my diet and lifestyle. From eating nutella everyday I cut it down to once a week (or 2 weeks), I started exercising more and cut rice from my diet. Since then I've lost about 5 lbs. It will take a lot to undo all the damage I've caused with these sugars.

You should still see a doctor tumorrow

Nothing that's extremely anything can be good for you and also isnt guaranteed to be tasty to every human on earth.

Extremely oily or nutty food makes me feel sick.

 

[Fades]

Memes have a shelf-life, and this one is well past its 'best before' date.

Best before dates aren't the same thing as expiration dates!

What the fuck is a rapeseed?

I think it's called canola oil now to prevent people from saying rapeseed.

Canola (Canadian + "ola"/oil) is the genetically modified version of rapeseed, bred by selective crossbreeding in order to minimize the amounts of glucosinolates and erucic acid that is found in rapeseed.

Fun fact, up until last year, the town of Tisdale in northern Saskatchewan had the slogan "The Land of Rape and Honey," referring to rapeseed farming.

 

[M3d10n]

The whole point of the Nutella campaign is that they are NOT processing palm oil in a way that would produce the potentially cancerogenic byproduct. (Which in itself is not clear yet. There is no warning from these institutions to stop consuming palm oil).

AFAIK, pretty much every kind of vegetable oil has a different temperature at which it begins to produces carcinogenic compounds, some lower (within the capabilities of a home stove) some much higher.

 

[waveuponwave]

Better reason to keep that shit out of your food (or biofuel for that matter):

 

[Breakage]

Isn't palm oil in nearly everything these days?

Im in the US and i feel this way about peanut butter. Everyone gives me a look when i tell them that...

Trees grow in grids?


Or were they planted?

 

[Zekes!]

Hmmm I eat peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches frequently throughout the week, maybe I should chill

You can't eat a nutella and jelly sandwich

 

[ronaldthump]

Palm oil is shitty in so many ways. Limiting intake of products made with it is a good idea.

this

plus nutella is gross. I liked it when I was younger but now, not so much.

 

[Krauser Kat]

too bad palm oil is the only solid at room temperature oil veggies can fry something in.

 

[Facism]

Trees grow in grids?


Or were they planted?

i think our man wave is pointing out deforestation in order to grow this stuff.

 

[GreatestHits]

Trees grow in grids?

I think that is the aftermath of the palm oil fields on the left.

too bad palm oil is the only solid at room temperature oil veggies can fry something in.

Coconut oil? You know, the miracle food that can fight inflammation and cancer?

Honestly these spreads would probably taste real good with coconut oil

Isn't this implying that the other options also produce a risk?

Yes, you should stay away from vegetable oil. And not just because it's usually a by-product of Big Ag's battery acid science experiments. They lobby to keep the noise down about it's health hazards, but research still gets done. Once again coconut oil should be a mainstay in your home cooking, it's just the less processed it is, the more it tastes like coconuts heh. There's another one out there that isn't olive oil that is very healthy (healthy fats) and is good for cooking.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

generated more of a potentially carcinogenic contaminant than other vegetable oils

Isn't this implying that the other options also produce a risk?

 

[Fades]

Isn't this implying that the other options also produce a risk?

Yes, I'm pretty sure most (all?) commercial oils possess the ability to produce said element when heated to certain temperatures. It's just that palm oil is said to generate more of it.

 

[Fried Food]

Nutella always gives me a headache when I put it on bread, so much sugar

 

[GreatestHits]

It's not just the heat. It's also the fat content itself

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

we should stop using Palm Oil anyway as the forests where Orangutans and many other animals live are being indiscriminately being cut down threatening their habitat.

 

[Alienfan]

Even if it caused cancer that would still only be the second worst thing about the palm oil industry.

 

[Zelenogorsk]

Thank god I eat peanut butter like a normal person.

Extra chunky peanut butter at that.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Isn't palm oil in nearly everything these days?

Yep, I looked at some labels at the store. Pretty much in most things now it seems. Is all palm oil heated at hot enough temperatures to cause this?

 

[Lucky Seven]

Nonsense. Unacceptable!

 

[vonStirlitz]

i juat read this while on a cigarette break, and am concerned about the cancer risks of palm oil now.

 

[Sesha]

Palm oil is almost universally shit. I've been against it for years. I think the one thing it has is that it's cheaper, which is why it's so ubiquituous.

 

[A Black Falcon]

Isn't palm oil in nearly everything these days?

Palm oil has been major food companies' solution to the push to remove partially hydrogenated oils from foods, because those contain trans fats that are now known to be very bad. The current goals are to have zero added trans fats in foods, because it's what customers want due to press and also what governments seem to have been heading towards, and that's great... but you need something with similar properties to replace those partially hydrogenated oils, and not any oil will do, you need something thick, like, well, partially hydrogenated oils, lard, or palm oil. So, where a few years ago lots of things had partially hydrogenated oils in them, now most of those things have palm oil instead.

So that's what this leaves me wondering, which is worse between this carcinogen vs. trans fats? If this is less bad than trans fats so you don't want to go back to partially hydrogenated stuff, is there something else big food companies could use instead of palm oil that still produces foods that look and taste the same, as palm oil has done? I have no idea, but it's a good question.

 

[Polioliolio]

So at this point, is there officially nothing on this planet that doesn't cause cancer?

Have you even tried eating whole foods?

 

[Hoo-doo]

The superior and less deadly alterntive to Nutella

Damn, I need to know more about this.

 

[bidguy]

it tastes amazing though, especially on crepes

moderate consumption shouldnt be a problem i think

 

[ArgyleReptile]

I had Nutella once several years ago in High School on a small piece of bread. Should I go to the doctor?

 

[Even]

Glad I stay away of Nutella then.

Peanut butter >>>>>>>>>> Nutella

Search "peanut butter" and "cancer" on Google.

Sorry.
