    I eat naturally more peanut butter, I think its great.

    Naturally More is the best!! It is made w/ flaxseed oil. http://www.peanutsnack.com I buy it at Super Wal*mart.

    My kids and I just finished our snack- apples w/ PB. YUMMY! I mix 1 T. in my oatmeal, also add 1 T. to my yogurt, etc. I would not live w/out PB! :laugh:

    And almond butter is divine... :drinker:

    Food Science - Peanut butter.

    Question
    is the quote true? is it true with ketchup?
    i heard something like this on discovery health channel

    There are reports available from the FDA if you want to be paranoid. These are reports that specify how much bug eggs they will allow in food, for example. The worst food for bug parts? Peanut butter. The bugs, literally, come in with the peanuts and they don't have time to separate the bugs from the peanuts when they come in from the farm like that, so the bugs get ground up with the peanut butter. You eat peanut butter, you eat bugs.

    Peanut butter on a banana is my favorite treat. Peanut butter is good for you. You are to have the type of fat in it for the Omegas, plus it's a good protein alternative. Just don't go crazy on it!

    I had a PB and banana sandwich after my workout this morning. I use Skippy Natural Super Chunk, I absolutely love it and it has only 3g of sugar. I won't go back to regular PB again.

    The truth is there are bugs in everything, they live on our skin, in our carpet, on almost all of our food stuffs, even the natural and organic! But developing a respect for clean gets a new meaning. :laugh: In biblical times it was considered very hospitable to offer your guests dried Locusts to eat, much like we eat potato chips! And in Africa, Large Termites and Grubs are a delicacy! Bon Appetite!

    if you check your inbox, you'll find the snopes article. :huh:

    the only poisoning I got was mental..............:devil: :laugh:

    seriously you guys,
    peanut butter is OKAY.
    even Skippy.
    just factor it into your daily calories and proceed.

    and if you prefer all natural kind, and want to stir your PB, that's great too.

    Answer me this, why is it not in Canadian food products? Since it is so good for you why has Canada not allowed Rapeseed oil in their food chain? Anything that can kill aphids, should not be in your food. Thank you for the delightful banter, I love you!

    if you pour salt on a slug it will die too. doesn't mean it is poisonous.
    if you give chocolate to your dog, he will get sick/maybe die. doesn't mean it is poisonous.
    the reason rapeseed oil is used as a pesticide is the oil clogs up the breathing pores of the insects and it suffocates them. since we don't breathe through our skin I think we'll be okay.

    Next to coffee, peanut butter is the most insect part and insect filth contaminated food. Bon Appetite! According to the FDA's standards of contamination! Yummy!

    Clean peanut butter can be freshly made at your health food store. along with almond butter, cashew butter, etc. they have clean, uncontaminated number one grade peanuts and grind it fresh for you!. just like jams and jellies. the less than perfect fruit is made into jams and jellies in order to not waste the fruit. juices, the same thing. overripe even decomposing fruit gets made into juice! Fresh is cleaner. more expensive and more difficult, but the best. I would not call it paranoid, just factual. we all make choices. Eat what ever you are comfortable with, be healthy!
