Just wondering if Skippy Natural (creamy) is just as good as Smucker's natural PB...it tastes just as good as regular peanut butter

Here are the ingredients:
Roasted Peanuts, Sugar, Palm Oil, Salt

...the jar says its 100% natural w/ no Trans fat and no Hydrogenated Oil
 
Nope!

Peanut butter should only have

Peanuts and Salt

Any added oils and sugar is not necessary and useless calories.
 
I got some brand of natty pb and all it says is peanuts, now thats as natural as it gets. Tastes not so good. But hey you cant have it all.
 
damn :(

i was so happy after reading "Natural"
i thought i had finally found a tastey natty PB.
but its better than regular peanut butter right??
 
Not really. The palm oil and sugar make it bad.
 
What about this peanut butter I got...Smart Balance Omega Natural PB...

Ingrediants:

Peanuts, natural oil blend (flaxseed and palm fruit oils) salt, molasses.

It does say it has 1g of sugar in each serving though...and 2g's of fiber though.

It's natural, but it is whipped so no stirring up oils!

Whaddya think jodi?
 
Nah, another PB product with a bunch of junk in it.

PB should be peanuts and salt, and that's it.

On a side note: I started making my own PB, Almond butter etc.. :nanner:

well what's bad? The palm fruit oils or the molasses?? Those are the only extra ingredients...of the two, which is it or both? Why are they bad?

I'm not disagreeing jodi, just pickin ur brain in the name of education! lol
 
Palm Oil is a saturated fat. Why take a perfectly healthy food such as nuts and add saturated fats to it?

Molasses is a by-product of sugar cane. So basically sugar.

Molasses (blackstrap) i was under the belief was good, maybe not before sleep but it's going to be such a minor amount. Organic molasses is a good source of calcium, magnesium and iron. I think you natty pb people are far to staunch on other brands of pb. as a meal of the day i think the one with molasses would be fine. Now the other oil PWG was talking about may not be as great, but isn't it a source of Vit A and Omega-6? I'm not defending the oil because i really have little knowledge on it, but blackstrap molasses (if it is that) is rather good for you, i use it as a natural pick me up after a hard gym session :) - and after donating blood i use it for the iron.
 
I hardly doubt it's blackstrap molasses in there. Sugar is sugar and at night sugar is not beneficial. Also, if the goals are to cut, then the molasses is not a good choice either.

Would the glucose load on <2% molasses in a serving really hurt? Depending on what your goals are and such, maybe it could save sanity and stop someone from caving in and loading it up with jam or something ??? Few people are made of stone.

So we can both agree that yeah not good before sleep? But considering cutting is about calories it can???t really hurt as a meal of the day ??? also assuming that the glucose load isn???t going to deposit a lot of fat?
 
1g of sugar is THAT bad?
 
Eating sugar keeps the craving of sugar. It takes approx. 3 days to get rid of sugar cravings. These cravings is what make people cave. Get rid of the sugar all together and the cravings go away and then there is less caving.

Eating carbs before bed leads to cortisol increase, circadian rhythm disturbances, fat gain, and interferes with igf-1.
 
I remember P-funk brought up a conference he attended about this, there was a scientist saying the same thing, because insulin inhibits glucagon / GH which is what stimulates IGF-1. What he asked was, if someone was undergoing intense enough training (i.e. weight lifting) to actually need (not someone sedentary) the carbohydrate would it not be ok, or there abouts anyway. i think the scientiest said ok - maybe i'll dig around abit to find the thread (I hope i'm not putting words into P-Funks mouth).

So how long do you think would be ok to have my last carb meal? say if i was sleeping at midnight, and my last Protein+Fat meal would be at 10-11, would 7-8 be acceptable for my last carb meal?
 
Yeah, 7ish is fine. The main thing is the increase in cortisol and disturbing circadian rhythms.

Back to the PB, you should always choose a product with the most natural ingredients as possible. Hence PB = Peanuts and Salt :)
 
My cottage cheese has 5g of sugar too....does that make it a bad idea before bed? I wanted to do the natty pb and cottage cheese combo before bed...
 
Skippy natural- no problem. Go study coconut oil and palm oil. If it is not hydrogenated, it is one of the best oils for your health and heart. Sri Lankans us it and the heart attack rate is like one in a million. This type of oil is a great energy producer and tends not to convert over to fat very easily. Now, no doubt you don't need the sugar calories, but in this age, you can seldom get it all. One thing that few poplpe do not realize is that the biggest threat in eating peanuts in ANY form is the fact that they ALL have a certain amount of aflotoxins. Very potent cancer causing substance. I use the skippy natural as an occasional treat, not as a protein source.
 
Personally I would skip the Palm and Coconut oil they are both relatively high in Sat fats.

Believe it or not coconut oils and palm oils are also highly allergenic. Many people don't realize that.

Go to Mercola's website to see info on coconut oil, palm oils studies are very similar. www.mercola.com/2001/mar/24/coconut_oil.htm

Also I know about the MCT's that are available from Coconut oil. I just don't think the amount of sat fat, compared to the MCT's is worth it. When you need a high temp fat for cooking, sure Coconut oil is great. Other then that I will stick with my omega 3 and 6 fats
 
Don't get me wrong, i don't use the coconut oil of palm oil for anything, just believe it is not that harmful if found in a purchased product. We tried cooking with coconut oil and it smokes like crazy. Changed to Rice Bran Oil for when we do occasionally fry something.
 
Back to the whole Natty PB thing...I like to ground flax seeds in my coffee bean grinder (or use milled flax seeds when on hand) and add them to my PB. This works particularly well in keeping the oil from separating from the PB (for those of you that don't keep it in the fridge).
 
Alot of natural food stores and health food places in my area ground and make their own pb in fornt of you, they cost alot but its well worth it.
 
I get mine from Publix for about 75 cents cheaper than the national brands.
 
I just buy smuckers natural peanut butter at the grocery store.
Ingredients: Peanuts and Salt.
