My friend tried eating that. He threw it out in about 6 spoon fulls. Thats giving it a pretty good chance. If he liked it I woulda tried it, but...
Yeah I'll admit, for the first jar or two i had to make myself eat it, considering the rest of my family still purchases the sugar / oil added ones. But now i prefer the taste, juts something you get use to and enjoy in the end.

Smart Balance Omega Natural Peanut Butter better than both of those.
Almond butter is the shiznat (I know I usually talk really professional like but hell)
...SHIZNIZZLE Almond ....bizzle

Oh also note that almonds are a powerful antioxidant (fights the occurance of free radicals and what not). I usually eat a small handfull of raw almonds near the end of the day.
Hook me up with some homemade stuff Jodi?

Sure thing. They also had cashew macadamia nut butter. I might give that one a shot next time.

I finally opened it. It's pretty damn tasty. I'm going to get some almond butter next time.

the folks saying to only get pb with 'peanuts and salt' are correct.
the oil and sugar pb's don't really have 'additional' oil added. what they do is remove the good peanut oil and sell that then they add an inferior cheap oil to make up for the loss and usually those oils are loaded with saturated fats. pretty tricky, remove an expensive oil, sell it and add a cheapo, bad for your health oil.
the only disadvantage to the natural pb's are that the oil separates and you have to stir it, big deal, consider it an arm workout!

In the deli section at my grocery store, they have this grinder with peanuts. They grind them up into a mostly creamy peanut butter texture. Nothing added and there is no oil seperation after several weeks with out refer.
You all might want to do some research on peanuts/peanut butter.
Peanuts are highly absorbant. They soak up things like a sponge. Since peanuts are a highly pesticided crop (one of the highest there is), this is not good. They also soak up toxins from the soil, so even if you buy organic PB, they are frequently contaminated with afflatoxins (a carcinogenic mold).
Also, they are quite high in omega 6 fatty acids. So, they could easily throw your omega 3
mega 6 ratio out of whack.
I was also reading that peanut oil sticks in the arteries like glue.
As a bit of trivia, peanuts are not even a nut, they are a legume.
I would suggest switching over to almond butter if you must have a nut butter. Almonds are also high in omega 6's but not as much. They will, however, provide all of the benifits of peanuts without the negatives.

I have read about the aflatoxins. Can you source the rest of your info?
I read about peanuts and atherosclerosis in "The Paleo Diet for Athletes" by Loren Cordain. Its been a while since I read it, and I let someone borrow it, so I can't quote it exactly. I did find an interesting link, however, that shows the issue might not be so cut and dry. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0813/is_n1_v15/ai_6482491
Here is another link with information about pesticides and aflatoxins in peanuts: http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/...e-contaminated_but_there_are_safe_sources.htm
As far nutrients go, here is a summary for a 1 ounce portion I derived from www.nutritiondata.com:
Peanuts
Fat: 14g
SFA: 1.9g
MUFA: 6.9g
Omega 6 PUFA: 4.4g
Vit E: 2.4mg
Folate: 68 mgc
Almonds
Fat: 14g
SFA: 1.1g
MUFA: 9.1g
Omega 6 PUFA: 3.45g
Vit. E: 7.3 mg
Folate: 8.2 mgc
As far as minerals go, almonds generally contain significantly higher amounts than peanuts.
My advice: do some research, and formulate your own opinion. Solid information can be hard to find. I would rather eat almond butter. It is more nutritious, and does not carry the risks of peanuts, as dubious as they might actually be.
