Natural verses regular Peanut butter

[CO B-man]

I was looking at the ingredients of these different types of PB the other day and did not notice any major difference between the two. Yeah Natural was just a slight better for you that I could tell but really I must be missing something here. Can someone tell me why natural PB is supposed to be so much better than just regular PB?

true ANPB is ONLY peanuts... no salt, no added anything

So there should be a big difference in ingredients... the label on my ANPB says

ingredients: Peanuts

lol

the biggest difference is added salt/sugar, and the processing changes the quality of the fats i believe

there are so many previous threads that answer this question
just do a search
but by in far the major difference is anpb has no added ingredients and will separate and can go rancid

i belive regular peanut butter contains hydrogenated oil and natty penut butter does not

The added ingredients in "regular" PB will vary by brand.....some have added sugars, hydrogenated oils, palm oils, chemicals, etc etc.....

ANPB usually has only 2 ingredients - peanuts & salt

One question. The PB at Trader Joe's by me lists the ingredients as dry roasted peanuts. Is that bad or good?

dry roasted is best
otherwise it is deepfried and there is the possibility that it is hydrogenated oil used

Stay away from hydrogenated oils. If the label claims to be all natural chances are it doesn't contain hydrogenated oils.
The process of hydrogenation results in a fat that is 2 or 3 molecules short to being identical to axle grease for your car. So not a good thing!
