evidence: If you were on social media yesterday, you probably noticed that Nutella has joined the long list of good things that supposedly cause cancer, like alcohol, red meat and maybe coffee. Trouble is, scientists never said that Nutella causes cancer. [...] All this is to say, everyone is hooting and hollering about Nutella causing cancer. The EFSA’s paper seems to indicate that palm oil might add to some health troubles, but Nutella isn’t the biggest concern compared to other palm oil sources, or for children whose Nutella intake should, frankly, be rather limited anyway. [...] There are a lot of other reasons to limit your palm oil intake. The palm oil industry is a major greenhouse gas emitter, and has cut down biodiversity-rich rainforests in Southeast Asia, according to Scientific American. But don’t let headlines about cancer be your main reason not to eat Nutella. The Reuters story says that "Ferrero is the only big European food company to mount such a public defense of the use of the ingredient in its products following the EFSA opinion," but of course, that’s been twisted into headlines like "Does Nutella Cause Cancer?" and "Study Claims Nutella Causes Cancer." The study in question doesn’t contain the word "Nutella."
