Hi everybody !!!!

I’m not going to speak you about one of my trips but we are going to travel in the core of a foodstuff which everybody (or almost!) like: the Nutella! This cacao and nuts dough was created in 1964 by Pietro Ferrero. Today 108 000 tons are producing a year!

Yes it’s fatty, caloric but… so good! With a slice of bread, a pancake or…nothing! One spoon, two spoons and again because “It takes a lot of energy to be grown up as well”.

However the Nutella includes phthalate esters. The Ferrero firm admits it but according to it, the quantity isn’t bad for our healthy. Really? The phthalate ester is a plasticizer proclaimed as the most dangerous. More important, it’s forbidden in the food processing industry…in China! It’s already prohibited in the toys industry in Europe since 1999 and should be banned in the food industry in 2012.

The phthalate esters provoke hormonal derangement like for instance the sterility for men. It affects expectant mothers too. The Federal Office of the Government carried out a survey and on 600 children, 100% had phthalate esters in their bodies. 20% had a very important toxic dose.

We find also this substance in coca cola bottles, few packaging of candies and biological milk for instance.

I know that many products which we eat are toxics and not only the Nutella but why accept to destroy our health?
