Truth about PB2 this food like substance

TwinkieDong

This is the truth about PB2 and why you’ll never see me eat this manufactured substitute for peanut butter: Think twice before eating this so called food

PB2 Is Not Whole Real Food – When I talk about the foods I eat, I tell people I want to choose the most nutrient dense foods on the planet and PB2 is just not one of them. The beauty of a peanut is that it contains all of the nutrients nature intended. It has a healthy dose of fat, protein and vitamins. PB2 extracts almost all of the essential monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, leaching the vitamin E content which is fat soluble, therefore reducing the nutritional content of the whole food. The fat is what keeps you satisfied and reduces cravings making just a tablespoon of real peanut butter so satisfying. This powdered form looks pretty clean when you review the ingredients, but it’s just another way for manufacturers to trick you into thinking less calories is better for you. They have to add a mixture of sugar and salt into the powder to make it taste better without the fat. I know I’d rather have the fat vs. the sugar and salt!


PB2 Is Not Organic – Conventional peanuts are some of the most heavily sprayed crops ever. The amount of toxic pesticides sprayed on peanuts is suspected to have caused the increase in peanut allergies. As you know, peanuts have a very thin and porous outer layer and shell that allows toxins in easily. These toxins are not something you can wash off. Remember increased exposure to pesticides are linked to birth defects, nerve damage and cancer. The President’s Cancer Panel has urged us not to consume food sprayed with pesticides and doesn’t believe any amount is safe.


PB2 Has Added Sugar – It might not be that much added sugar but knowing what refined sugar does to my mind and my body – I try to avoid it at all costs unless it’s a special occasion. I eat nut butter almost everyday so I make sure that my variety is sugar free and made from whole organic nuts. Also, this sugar could be made from genetically modified sugar beets.


Peanuts May Contain Aflatoxin – The mold that is frequently present in peanuts creates a carcinogen called Aflatoxin. This chemical has been shown to cause liver cancer in developing countries where there is a large consumption of corn, peanuts and grains grown without strict regulation of the quality of soil. Here in the United States, the FDA allows aflatoxin into our food system at varying levels. This is just not something I want to consume on a regular basis, even in small “approved” doses. For people who have had cancer or already have compromised liver function, you should really consider this information. This is why I choose to only eat Jungle Peanuts if I have a choice, because they are grown in an environment and harvested in a way that does not produce this toxin.

PB2 is a brilliant scam. It is the leftovers from making peanut oil, a huge commercial commodity. Before they put this crap in a jar, they sold it by the ton as animal feed.

so we are nothing more than live stock. lol

I also heard it may cause explosive diarrhea...

I also heard it may cause explosive diarrhea...

heard of is this personal experience?

Kadoober

I eat it a few times a week. I would never even consider it as being a 'whole food'... that's just silly.

But, considering that I fookin LOVE peanut butter, but am currently restricting calories, and don't want to 'spend' 300 calories eating the amount of PB that I would like to... PB2 is a nice substitute while I'm trying to drop the flab.

(I have had no issues with explosive diarrhea... that would stop my consumption right quick.)

holy cow people are looking at me from the office across the way. I just died laughing. That was FANTASTIC.

I never tried it, but the research I found was less than stellar.

PB2 is not a substitute for peanut butter (in my world.) It *is* a great way to add four grams of peanut butter flavored protein to my smoothies. I'm ok with that.

It tastes bad. Do I need other reasons not to eat it?

fdlafon

I personally enjoy PB2 in a smoothie, and have had no experience with any explosive diarrhea. I do not care for the texture of it as a pb spread, alone. Just my .02

So? Who is under the impression that PB2 is a "whole real food" or that it has all the same nutritional benefits as real peanut butter?

All I know is that I can add the flavor of peanut butter to my morning oatmeal or my chocolate peanut butter banana protein shake without taking in 200 calories if I can't afford it. If I COULD fit it into my calorie limit, I would, but it's difficult when eating at a deficit. I'm not going to take away part of another meal to accommodate peanut butter when all I really want is the flavor.

I eat plenty of things that aren't "whole real food" and I haven't died yet. No diarrhea, either. If you like PB2 and want to use to it save some calories, go for it. If you don't, good for you, use the real stuff. Who cares?

This ^^^^ I use it in smoothies so I can get the flavor or peanut butter without the calories. I am not delusional. But for now, it's an acceptable substitute for this peanut butter addict.

TX_Rhon

wow exciting people. I better show some T&A to get some responses here.

Are twinkies ok? I noticed a box of them your pics. But I'm sure they do not have nearly the harmful preservatives as PB2, am I right??

Bottom line: sooner or later, there is a study to show you that everything will eventually kill you. I'm not a fan of PB2 but will use it in smoothie since I already bought it. I prefer regular PB.

Orion782

I heard PB2 cures skin rashes, STD's, and one jar can feed the hungry children of Africa.

PB2 4 LYFE!

TAsunder

Salt makes peanut butter taste good. Anyone who eats PB without salt is not doing it right. While I would prefer it not to be there, sugar is in MANY brands of peanut butter. Are you saying you'd rather eat Jif than PB2? Absurd.

I am looking forward to your post about whey protein next.

RunsOnEspresso

Here's a novel idea... how about you worry about what you eat and I will worry about what I eat?

I prefer it to peanut butter to flavor smoothies and greek yogurt. So what? How does that hurt you?

Chickaboo2014

I totally agree with you, Ireed. It's a great sustitute for regular peanut butter IMO. I love the choocate PB2! You can get the texture to be very close to high fat PB and if you put it in a recipe, it doesn't matter the consistency.
I'm sticking with my PB2!!

PB2 is to peanuts
what almond flour is to almonds
(plus a tiny dash of salt)

How is that unhealthy?

Other companies sell the exact same thing called "peanut flour" and you don't see people jumping down their throats.

You didn't get any responses because the OP is full of unscientific BS and misinformation. And it's pointless.

PB2 is a brilliant scam. It is the leftovers from making peanut oil, a huge commercial commodity. Before they put this crap in a jar, they sold it by the ton as animal feed.

so we are nothing more than live stock. lol

Your whey powder is the leftovers from the dairy industry. Not organic.

And the HFCS in your Pepsi is a leftover from the corn industry. It's not organic and might be GMO.

Your Chobani has 16 grams of added sugar - that's 16 times as much as PB2. Not organic.

I'm sure your diet has a bunch of heavily processed non-organic items every day. Problem is you've only logged one day of food, ever, as far as I can tell.

PB2 is to peanuts
what almond flour is to almonds
(plus a tiny dash of salt)

How is that unhealthy?

Other companies sell the exact same thing called "peanut flour" and you don't see people jumping down their throats.

This. And peanut flour is cheaper, so I don't get the craze. I stick with real peanut butter because it fits my calorie goals. *shrug*
