~Peanut Butter~

[Dabs]

I love peanut butter....and I only buy Jif.
They have these nifty little sizes out now...instead of having to buy a huge jar, they have individual take-along containers.....about 6 to a pack I believe.
Anyway, I just grab a container and I can eat it plain....good snack food.....and altho I like to eat it by itself, I like peanut butter on a Ritz cracker or a piece of celery.
What do you enjoy peanut butter with??

 

[Mr. H.]

Peanut butter and sliced tomato on toast - my fave sammy.

PB on celery.

PB on nipples too.

Peanuts cause inflammation and shouldn't be consumed by Humans unless they're prepared properly, and JIF isn't.

But hey, it's your life right? Hope you like Colon Cancer.

What's considered "properly prepared"?

Its Skippy or nothing. i tried a store brand peanut butter once. I was not impressed.

I like my peanut butter with chocolate. Also made into peanut butter fudge.

What's considered "properly prepared"?

Store bought, manufactured Peanut Butter is made with Hydrogenated Oils which are unhealthy. Along with a lot of other preservatives and crap which I wont get into. Here's one way to properly prepare peanuts:

I eat Cashews, Almonds, Walnuts and Macadamia nuts but I skip Peanuts entirely, no matter how they're prepared.

Hey MS...up yours ~LoL~

JIF is awesome....but MS is right.
We buy an organic peanut better that also has honey it, it is really good...but not like JIF.
But in all seriousness Dabs - the taste of JIF is not worth the health hazards that come with eating food after food after food that contains hydrogenated oils, trans fats and modified wheat proteins.
It is "Frankenfood"...and there is only one reason why food companies have systematically replaced natural ingredients with chemically pumped alternatives: it can sit on shelves for up to two years.
Think about that...isn't there something wrong with that picture? Food isn't supposed to be able to sit on a shelf for two years.

Interesting enough, mass produced, grocery store peanut butter has been implicated various outbreaks of food borne illnesses, specifically salmonella. If you can learn to make your own, that's probably the best, or find a locally produced source, maybe at a local farmers' market.

But....but....but....I don't eat that much of the stuff guys

But....but....but....I don't eat that much of the stuff guys

I do! I love the stuff straight out of the jar, really. The organic PB separates and you have to keep mixing it up, just like when you make it yourself.

There's actually natural ways to preserve foods for 2 years. Many people use them in canning.

NEW TREATMENT COULD REDUCE KIDS' PEANUT ALLERGIES
Jan 30,`14 -- An experimental therapy that fed children with peanut allergies small amounts of peanut flour has helped more than 80 percent of them safely eat a handful of the previously worrisome nuts.

Although experts say the results of the carefully monitored study are encouraging, they warn it isn't something that parents should try at home. Peanut allergies are on the rise globally and affect about 1 in 50 children, mostly in high-income countries. The consequences can be life-threatening - peanuts are the most common cause of fatal food allergy reactions. There is no way to avoid a reaction other than just avoiding peanuts. Allergy shots used for environmental triggers like pollen are too risky.

Doctors at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge started by giving 99 children aged seven to 16 with severe peanut allergies a tiny 2-milligram dose of a special peanut flour mixed into their food. Slowly they increased that amount to 800 milligrams. The dose increases were given at a research facility where the children were observed for any dangerous side effects - the most frequent were itchiness in the mouth, stomach pains or nausea.

After six months of treatment, more than 80 percent of the children can now safely eat five peanuts at a time. "This made a dramatic difference to their lives," said Dr. Andrew Clark of the University of Cambridge in Britain, who led the research. "Before the study, they could not even tolerate tiny bits of peanuts and their parents had to read food labels continuously." The intention of the treatment isn't to help kids eat large amounts of peanuts, but to prevent a life-threatening allergic reaction in case they accidentally eat trace amounts.

Clark said the treatment works by retraining the patients' immune systems so they can gradually build up a tolerance to peanuts, though he guessed they might need to keep taking it for several years. He and colleagues plan to offer the treatment soon in a special peanut allergy clinic as well as beginning larger studies. The study was paid for by Britain's Medical Research Council and the National Institute for Health Research. It was published online Thursday in the journal Lancet.
