Avoid the stuff with partially hydrogenated oils - that's not good fat!!! I like the all-natural peanut butter that has the peanut oil sitting on top when you open the lid (I stir it in of course). The ingredients: peanuts, salt. That's it. No additives. That's the good stuff. Just be sure to eat it in moderation. Even though the fat and protein is good, too much can still be a bad thing.

yadmit Posts: 4,670 Joined: 2003/10/05	2004/10/05, 11:08 PM I found some Kraft All Natural Peanut Butter today... The ingredients are: 100% Select Roasted Peanuts. In front of the word natural is (I012B). Any idea what that means? I was buying Adams, likely will continue as it's a tad cheaper. The Kraft has less calories, about half a gram less fat and 0.8 grams less of protien. It has a few more carbs, but doesn't mention any sugar. The Adams has 0.5g of sugar. The Adams has 'non-hydrogenated' oil listed in the ingredients. Of the two, which would be the better? -------------- t I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self. - Aristotle You have the power to change a life right in your own hands. - Paul Brandt
