Ok, ok... I feel bad taking up space in his log talking about PB for 2 pages

To quote Shadow:
damn yall.......tell me ehy you need to TRACK down a natty peanut butter that has ONE exra gram of carbs??
Whts the fiber in your natty?
I bet thats the difference
------------------------------------------------------------------
I had thought the point of eating ANPB versus regular was because it was less processed and due to the trans-fats in it... though I just found this article from the PEANUT INSTITUTE (lol)
Exciting new research shows the heart healthy benefits of monounsaturated fats found in peanuts and peanut butter. But there are still some questions about other types of fats in peanut butter.
MYTH: Peanut Butter is not heart healthy.
FACT: Peanut butter is indeed heart healthy. Over 80% of the fat in peanut butter is the unsaturated kind, which is heart healthy. Peanut butter, as with all plant foods, is naturally cholesterol-free. A study published in the December 1999 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition by researchers from
Penn State University showed that peanuts and peanut butter lowered blood cholesterol levels as effectively as olive oil in moderate fat diets. And the peanut butter diet was more effective than a low fat diet in maintaining HDL-cholesterol levels and lowering triglyceride levels. The study found the
diet that included peanuts and peanut butter lowered cardiovascular disease risk by 21%, whereas the low-fat diet decreased the risk by only 12%. Peanut butter is also a good source of niacin, folic acid, phosphorous, vitamin E, and phytosterols.
MYTH: Peanut Butter should be avoided because it is high in trans fats.
FACT: NO! Based on the newly proposed FDA regulations about trans fat labeling, peanut butter would declare ZERO (0) trans fat. Independent analyses of peanut butters by USDA and by The Peanut Institute have shown extremely low levels of trans fat. Some peanut butter contains a very small amount of partially hydrogenated vegetable oil to help prevent oil separation, which is preferable to most consumers. These oils contribute an insignificant amount of trans fat.
MYTH: There is a huge difference between regular peanut butter and natural
peanut butter.
FACT: NO! Peanut butter today is remarkably like that made 100 years ago.
All peanut butter, by law, must contain a minimum of 90% peanuts. Both
natural and regular peanut butters may contain some sugar and salt for flavoring. Some brands also contain a small amount of stabilizer (partially hydrogenated vegetable oil) to keep the oil from separating, which most consumers prefer. This also helps maintain peanut butter freshness.

And it tastes like peanut butter. If you didn't know it was soy, you wouldn't know. I buy it at Safeway.
