Nutella, die chocospread, kan nooit gezonder zijn dan Kellog's of pindakaas. Oh nee?
Jawel dus. Het is nieuws uit augustus, maar het drong nog niet tot Nederland door.
Nutella is beter dan pindakaas en beter dan je populaire 'cereals'. Dat zegt Nadia Arumugam op Slate:
One tablespoon of Nutella contains 100 calories, 5.5 grams fat, 0.5 grams fiber, 1.5 grams protein, and 10.5 grams sugar. Sure, the sugar content is high, but it also has a low Glycemic Index of 33, which means the energy is slow releasing. The same amount of Smucker's strawberry preserves contains 50 calories and no fat. It also contains no protein, no fiber, and 12 grams of sugar with a GI that's likely in the mid-60s or even 70s. Smucker's will send your kids to school on a sugar high and have them napping by 11 a.m. Nutella also doesn't compare all that badly next to Skippy Creamy peanut butter, which contains 80 calories, 8 grams fat, 1 gram fiber, 1.5 grams sugar, and 3.5 grams of protein in a tablespoon serving.
It's no surprise that ready-to-eat cereals are the most popular breakfast choice: From April 2010 to April 2011, U.S. sales amounted to $6.41 billion. It might be something of a surprise, however, that Nutella can be a healthier alternative. A complete, as-advertised breakfast of one tablespoon of Nutella plus one slice of Pepperidge Farm 100 percent whole-wheat bread contains 2.25 grams saturated fat, 4.5 grams dietary fiber, 6.5 grams protein, and 13.5 grams sugar. Now consider a bowl of Lucky Charms plus a half cup of 2 percent milk (the most popular grade of milk among consumers, according to the latest available data). That's 1.5 grams saturated fat, 2 grams dietary fiber, 6 grams protein, and 16 grams sugar. Nutella loses on the fat front, but wins out on sugar and on the positive categories of fiber and protein. What's more, a recent study by the American Academy of Pediatrics found that kids given high-sugar cereals typically eat twice the recommended serving amount, on average consuming 5.7 teaspoons of sugar.

Als u moet kiezen tussen pindakaas, cereals en Nutella, dan moet u dus de laatste maar nemen. U kunt natuurlijk ook alle drie het huis uitzetten.

@Erik, slechte producten bestaan niet echt (wel slechte voedingspatronen), dus kaas slecht noemen doe ik niet. Maar kaas is een behoorlijke caloriebom, en mijn voorkeur gaat daarom uit naar ander 'beleg' (en verder hou ik ook niet van kaas, vooral harde Nederlandse kazen, brrrr ;-) )
Wouter, wat is er toch slecht aan kaas?
Dan kiezen onze kinderen instinctief goed....als er alleen die drie dingen op tafel zouden staan.
"but it also has a low Glycemic Index of 33,", waaruit we mogen afleiden dat die suiker HFCS is, de huidige hoofdverdachte voor de obesitasepidemie.
Twee gebakken eitjes met spek en 1 a 2 volkoren boterhammen, zonder boter Plus een glas melk of verse jus en een tomaat. Eitje mag vervangen worden door vleeswaren (maar niet kaas). Glycemisch waarschijnlijk beter dan Nutella.
