A Mom in California just sued Ferrero, the maker of Nutella, for falsely claiming that its sugar- and saturated-fat based product was a healthful solution for kids breakfast.
I love Nutella. It tastes delicious. But I too was shocked when I saw the recent ad campaign – on the back of the jars and on TV – claiming that Nutella is a wholesome healthful product. There is nothing wrong with making an indulgent delicious dessert that people should enjoy when they choose to indulge. But a product whose number one ingredient is refined sugar should not try to claim itself as healthy!
New nutritional guidelines appropriately focus on encouraging nutritionally dense foods and minimally processed foods, including whole grains instead of refined grains, and a balanced diet that prizes the right proteins, fats, and carbs – ie, the ones that are not empty carbs or calories. This is the philosophy we follow at KIND, including the KIND diet.

If you are health conscious, the Glycemic index is definitely of interest to you. The Glycemic index ranks carbohydrates based on how quickly they convert to glucose in the human body. This is important because carbs that increase blood levels quickly, also increase insulin levels quickly, which carries serious consequences for those with diabetes.
Studies show that nuts rank low on the Glycemic index and are good for people trying to monitor their cholesterol, and are the perfect snack because they keep you full for longer. Almonds are especially championed for their ability to lower your cholesterol. The Diabetes Monitor points out that although nuts are mostly fat, they are incredibly helpful in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
