It's chocolate-hazelnut taste is just...well it's too damn delicious for my own good. </p><p>But now, like many others, I'm re-thinking my consumption of the yummy treat. </p><amp-anim src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2233120259-3.gif" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-anim><p></p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>A user on the website Reddit posted an image of the proportions for each ingredient contained in Nutella. The spread boasts itself as a healthy part of a balanced breakfast, but this image exposes the real truth: it's about as healthy as a Pop-Tart covered in chocolate syrup. </p><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2233120259-3.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2233120259-3_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><p>For every two tablespoons of Nutella, there's 21 grams of sugar. 21 GRAMS!!! And two tablespoons isn't really that much. Remember, the heaping tablespoon you put on your toast is probably more like 4 tablespoons. </p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>The American Heart Association recommends that women eat no more than 24g of added sugar in a day, while men should eat no more than 36g daily. So basically, if you have Nutella once a day, you're using up most of your added sugar allowance. You better be eating clean the rest of the day! </p><amp-anim src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2233120259-3-1.gif" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-anim><p>Will these findings change your Nutella habits?
