There are people who eat Nutella in moderation who develop cancer. There are people who have never touched Nutella who develop cancer. This is not proof that Nutella causes cancer. There are two old sayings that are pertinent here: 1. Everything in moderation, including Nutella. Use as directed! and 2. Don't believe everything you see in writing. You may enjoy Nutella in moderation.

Nutella does not have any carcinogens. Oils and Fats that are highly saturated can cause an increase in "bad" cholesterol levels in humans. Eating a diet high is saturated fats can also cause obesity, heart disease and cancer. Low or moderate consumption of saturated fats has less risk for these same diseases. Nutella contains saturated fats- use it sparingly or in moderation to limit your risk.
