You should only see "peanuts"

and nothing else !

thoses added oils (palm and sunflower) are not the ones you want

You'd better try to find another brand

why are those oils not OK?

Sunflower oil is really okay. Palm oil is one of the oils that tends to clog up arteries. As mentioned, you should see just "peanuts" or perhaps "peanuts, salt".

yeh, I agree with peanuts and salt only.

hey man, your peanut butter is fine for now. the oils are used to stabilize the peanuts so that they adhere as a paste. as long as there is no added sugar or preservatives, you're good enough to go.

however, when you finish off that tub (shouldn't be too long if you follow mr. x's diet to the T), try to find a peanut butter whose only ingredient is peanuts - that's as pure and natural as you can get.
