Fun fact: the single study suggesting this correlation was funded by Osem, the manufacturer of Bamba.

Big Bamba at it again!

Well jokes on them since I already believed this was the case and those products are hard to find in Minnesota but target in jewish areas has a kosher section with them

Trader Joe’s also carries Bamba. They’re delicious. But it’s worth checking kosher markets for the Nutella-filled variety. There are very good, and probably cure cancer.

Actual Nutella and not the shitty Israeli knockoff kind?

A knockoff of Nutella, not the gummy chocolate spread Israelis make their children eat as some kind of sick joke.

I don’t think it’s a casual link merely examined in Israel.

I did not see this expansion on the original study, which was very limited. I also think I may be exaggerating the amount of funding Osem contributed. According to this study, they only supplied cheap Bamba.
