Peanut butter

Postby fits » Tue Jan 30, 2007 9:42 pm

I looked in the cubaord today, i have a near full jar of Whole earth peanut butter which i have not hardley touched because it tastes like crap and a nice jar of sun pat crunchy peanut butter. I looked at the back of both jars to find, to my amazement that sun pat is healthier than Whole earth thats advertised as being 'healthy' they were about the same for protein and fat but the whole earth hd a bit more sugar, not much, aout 3.7g compared to sun pat 2.5g but i was very surprised.

Just a bit of crap info that i thought i share lol i was shocked (yes i know i need to get out more!! )

Fits its the palm oil thats the killer with the sunpat stuff, read that its a crap oil to use and its better to use a peanut butter that just containes the oil from the peanuts.....

I`m sure thats what whole earth do......

The sugars are so minor that with all the fats in there it would be minimal impact...

I got a jar once of some organic PB and it was made with 100% nuts and nothing else, also read an article that stated that palm oil was suppose to be bad for us....
