I'm late to this party but I've been binge watching your "skinny on" series and I love that you explain WHY these certain ingredients are bad. If you're into health even a little bit you know trans fats etc. are bad but no one ever explains why. And you also explain why manufacturers are putting them in there. I've just never gotten all the information in one place and it is SO appreciated!!
Lauren Yerdon I am searching for maternity diets for my brother and sis in law... I like this! Very helpful info. You're right, NO ONE, not even doctors explain these things... I guess cause they would have no patients!
Thank you sooooo much! Finally! a UA-camr who actually can break down and instruct the little pieces of nutritional dieting and who knows their stuff too. By the way, you have a new subscriber. :) I appreciate you providing info on health and nutrition. It's so hard to understand nutrition these days. There are so many misconceptions and loss information. I am so glad I discovered you on UA-cam. Also, you remind me of, Lauren Conrad. Very educated and a great instructor. You look like her also.
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!! There really is SO much misinformation out there these days, it's no wonder people get so confused and frustrated! I promise to always give the real-deal info and break it all down as best as I can! 😊
Starting this video, I knew I was in for an agonizing introduction, so I scanned the comments. You have done me great service by pointing out the time the info begins and the bullshit ends. I salute you!
Seems like the majority of food nowadays are bad for you. It's scary, you don't know what to eat anymore!!!! They should never be allowed to put this garbage on the shelves, but they do, and the unfortunate thing is they get away with it.
Smucker's natural peanut butter is peanuts and 1% or less of salt.. I will definitely be checking out the other peanut butter ingredients list now....... great video 💜💚💟💛💙
I am from UK and I never touch anythjng with hydrogenated fat. But problem is manufacturers here are replacing it with Palm oil. I really wish our government would sort this out as palm oil is in bread, chocolate etc. It is terrible. I only use Meridian 100% Cashew butter or Peanut butter but other foods are just loaded with palm oil. Great video. xx
Good info, but I disagree with you on the palm oil, Becca. Saturated fat has been shown over and over again in recent studies (2017) not to be the culprit leading to atherosclerosis and heart disease we once thought it was. Carbohydrates and low nutrient density foods are the main culprits. We were all taught the evils of sat fat in dietetics school, but that science is changing. I 100% agree on the hydrogenated oils. They are supposed to be taken out of our food supply this year. Peanuts, because of the lectins and the aflatoxins are problematic all around. I only buy organic or stick to almond and cashew butter. Thanks for a good video!
You should make a video about pasta sauce, that stuff is so ridiculously sugary most of the time. I didn't realize it until I started to pay attention to the ingredients. Possibly condiments too just because I think it would be good to know which are semi healthy.
That's a great idea! It's so true, a lot of the jar sauces have a ton of added sugar it's crazy!! And I love the condiment idea! Thanks for watching and for our feedback!
Just binge watching your videos and I love how in your newer videos you insert a clip of the information it makes a huge difference wen your reading them it also helps out I've learned so much already !
I can not stand when people say how small two tablespoons is. Like, have people not looked at a tablespoon? Quit thinking about teaspoons, the spoons you eat with are not tablespoons. Two tablespoons of peanut butter is the size of a golf ball. Get a Justin single serve thing of almond butter. It is two tablespoons and it is a TON. And I love this channel and I'm a nutrition major so I'm not someone who is just like sitting here complaining with no experience acting like I know it all, but having a degree evidently doesn't mean you know measurements...
Absolutely great info. Really hope people watching this take in what you just spoke about and read the ingredients on all food products not just peanuts butter. People should learn what’s good and what’s bad in ingredients on food labels. Apart from what you just spoke about, I also look out for numbers in ingredients which is very deceitful. Thanks so much for sharing.
They have basically the same nutritional profile, which is what I meant. Regardless what the source is, they serve the same purpose/provide similar macronutrients.
+Dan Johnson So true! I need to get a better blender/food processor..I've always wanted to try making my own but I'm afraid what I have now would blow up if I tried hahaha
0:00 BASICALLY I am about to talk about health and food science and our bodies/digestive system, all of which I am unqualified to talk about because I have spent my life talking about makeup and clothes
Great knowledge Becca! Very simply explained, you’ll be an excellent educator! The peanut butter I have always used has just dark roasted peanuts and minimal salt and is so good! I stir it once and then put it upside down in the pantry so that it’s runny enough to just drizzle onto toast etc... I good tip I learned from a popular vegan UA-camr 👌😋
I looked on MaraNatha's (the almond butter you had) website, and they say that the palm oil they use has zero trans fats, has less saturated fat than butter, and is cholesterol free. Whether or not you think they are bad or not you have to admit this option of nut butter is waaayyyy better than the conventional Jif or or Skippy, especially for people who are trying to (slowly) transition to a healthier diet. They also have oil and sugar/salt free options as well.
So grateful that I just stumbled upon this video. Throwing out my Jif natural tonight and getting new peanut butter tomorrow! PS. best nutrition videos I have seen on UA-cam!!
The good news is that "regular" peanut butters don't contain trans fat anymore, Skippy's Hydrogentated Oil nowadays is Fully Hydrogentated, which is essentially saturated fat, artificial trans fats come from Partially Hydrogentated Oil.
This is so helpful! Why don't they teach this stuff in school? It makes me nervous to think about what things I've allowed my kids to eat or that I've fed my husband and myself.
Thanks for the video, it was SO helpful. I've been eating that Mara almond butter... no more! Could you please make a video talking about what you think about a vegan diet? Btw you have a new subscriber!
This is great. I liked the last pack where you say "Back on the shelf, back away. You don't want any part of that." I love the passion to make us healthy. Although, now I'm afraid to check my almond butter. Ack! Well, here I go.
ya that is why i am going to grow my own almonds and make my own almond butter but i have to wait until i have the money because i am going to buy me a wondermill best thing about this is it will do everything
Is kirkland organic peanut butter good? It says its made from valencia peanuts and the ingredients are dry roasted peanuts and sea salt. It doesnt say about any oils.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm not a vegan, and I like to promote diet balance, so I don't know if I would do a whole video on it. However, I love the idea of doing a 'skinny' on the meat replacement items...some of them are SO processed!
Full hydrogegenation does not result in trans fats. Only *partial* hydrogenation does. Trans fats are what you get in between the conversion from unsaturated to saturated fatty acids. If the hydrogenation is complete (as it typically is for peanut butter), there aren't any trans fatty acids left.
Well done! Finally someone on UA-cam with great knowledge of the hidden Trans Fats in the Peanut butter can show people the truth. Please tell me! What is your opinion on the Reduced Fat peanut butter. I'm talking about peanut butter with less than 5 grams of Saturated fat per 100 grams. They don't contain any hydrogenated fats but a little bit of palm oil. Thanks
Thanks so much for watching! I generally avoid all reduced fat products, mainly because they are always higher in added sugar but they will also have more additives, chemicals, stabilizers, etc so that they still taste like the full-fat original. Hope this helps!
Trouble is, you don't explain how your favorite nut butter gets to be so runny if it comes from dry, natural almonds. What additive wets it up like that?
Thank You ...I eat a lot of peanut butter because I am vegetarian. I eat it for protein.. This was very informative and it lead me to a question...I read a book years ago that was making the case for "whole, unprocessed foods." The author wrote that many saturated fats such as palm kernel oil,natural butter and coconut oil used to be blamed as contributing to heart disease and obesity. She explained that they were not processed fats and it was processed fat that the body cannot handle.( I learned in my nutrition class what margerine looks like before they add the "Yellow" coloring to make it resemble butter, it is a grey disgusting glob of grossness) The body does not know what to do with any of these processed things such as marjorine, so it gets stored as fat. She made a good point because she asked the reader to think about how much heart disease and obesity we have in the U.S in comparison to tropical island countries where the inhabitants eat palm oils and coconut oils on a regular basis.She then went on to really make a good case against trans fat and other processed substances. I wish I could remember the book and the authors name. Anyway,my question is, since I do not live near a health food store and have limited money, wouldn't Jiff be a safer brand for me to eat? At least palm oil is a "real" substance that is found in nature. Hydrogenated oils are not! Thank You for your information on this subject..
i am so appreciate so much your info. and i would like to know more about what the ingredient that food industry would particularly hide from consumer. such as u were mention about the trans fat blow 0.5mg they have right to not display it.
I've been researching peanut butter and found this video! I've been loving Teddie peanut butter. The ingredients are just dry roasted peanuts and some types have salt added. I've eaten Jif or Skippy my whole life and liked it but when I started eating healthier I really started reading ingredient labels and noticed that sugar was the second listed and there is so many grams per serving it disgusted me. I looked it up and found Teddie and it's seriously so good. I like it better than the other brands I've had. I was using the one that has salt added into it but decided to get the unsalted version and it's still so good. Natures promise is also a Stop and Shop store brand so I'm happy to hear there's one that also just has the nuts. Thank you for this video! I like the packets Justin's sells to bring on the go and their peanut butter cups so it's so sad to learn how bad it is and I'll definitely be backing away from their products (except their chocolate hazelnut butter it's better taste and better for me than Nutella and fixes that crazing)
Your just better off making your own. SOOOO much cheaper! As a bonus? It taste so much better!!! (If I don't have time to make it I have a local store that have a grind your own machine that I use. It's a bit expensive tho!) I'm curious tho what do you think about PB2?
+Amanda Murphy I would love to make my own!! I'm hoping to invest in a really good blender soon (like a Vitamix) so I can do it easily! And I like PB2! I personally just prefer the taste of the real thing, but the ingredients are simple and I think it's a great option for people looking for a lower-calorie option!
I've been eating "Adam's Old Fashion peanut butter" for years and years. I love it. When you get it home, set it upside down for a day or two which makes it easier to stir. I try to find the furthest out date, currently 7 dec. When it is fresh, it only takes one or two swipes with your knife to get mixed up. It's made by the Smuckers co..
Well, too late for me. I already have 3 brand new jars of Skippy in my kitchen just waiting for me and I am not going to throw them out. I use a spoonful everyday to make a protein shake after working out. It helps keep me feeling fuller longer and therefore I've been eating less and losing weight. When I'm done with those I'll consider looking for the super organic type. She forgot to talk about how that peanut butter tastes though. Most people who are health nuts usually say "It tastes delicious" but then when a regular person tastes it it tastes like crap. So I want to know, does the super healthy one taste good or not?
Kay2be2mr A lot of times the "less healthy" versions have a lot of added sugar, so they taste really sweet. The more "clean" nut butters usually do not have any added sugar. If you like your peanut butter vey sweet, you may not like those without added sugar, but you would probably get used to the different taste over time! If you like the skippy brand/sweetened peanut butter you can try the Skippy "natural" - it still has sugar added, but has palm oil instead of hydrogenated oils, which is the lesser of the two "evils." Hope this helps!
I used to love the crappy PB for the sweetness. Now that I eat clean, whenever I try something sugary I don't even like it anymore. Eat whole foods, and you will like them as your addiction to sugar fades.
Becca Kay Just started on my 3rd and last Skippy jar today so I just bought the Kirkland signature 2 pack PB at Costco today. With only 2 ingredients (nuts and sea salt) and it's runny just like the one you demonstrated in the video. Not looking forward to it but oh well. Gotta eliminate sugar where ever I can.
Palm oils ARE good for you, Coconut oil is a palm oil, hello... everyone knows that coconut oil IS GOOD for you because although it is high in sat. fats, it is easily and quickly burned in the liver because it is a medium chain fat.
Julie Johnson yes if I could afford it I would buy coconut oil for a hair conditioner face cream and butter and to mix and everything I could find. but I can't afford it so I use it for peanut butter and making homemade butter with lecithin
Hi. I randomly saw this while searching for peanut butter vids. It was a cool video! By the way, I've heard from several sources that only partially hydrogenated oils give you trans-fat and not the fully hydrogenated oils. Were they wrong? I'm not a health expert.
Thanks for the information I knew that hydrogenated vegetable oils and Palm oils are bad !! We just finished the last jar of jif natural peanut butter but from now on I will buy organic 100% peanut butter with out any oils add to it thanks for the tip
Excellent class on peanut butter you just taught me some valuable information thank you I'm 59 years old I need all the help I can get lol! ❤️I subscribed your amazing and awesome !!!
I use the smooth pb from Peanut Butter & Co. İt's the healthiest option I have where I live. I think it's pretty healthy but I,m not sure, can someone help? İngredients: Peanuts, dried cane syrup, palm fruit oil, salt.
Thanks for the info! Making me reconsider my love for Justin's almond butter! I'm curious though, since you seem to be so interested in nutrition and healthy eating, what's your opinion on eating meat? There are lots of studies out there that say that eating meats lead to the same types of heart disease that you explain palm oil and hydrogenated oil cause. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts!
Haha I feel you girl Justin's is so good..I still eat it here and there too. And that's a great question! I personally do it eat meat, but I don't eat a ton and when I do it's usually always lean meats (like chicken or turkey breast). I firmly believe in eating a balanced diet with lots and lots of fruits & veggies, and then everything else in moderation! Hope this helps xx
Thank you!!! This has informed me so well. That I now buy peanut butter were I literally can press the machine to grind the peanuts or almonds. And I know what I am eating. Taste way more delicious than jiff which I was eating before. Im so amazed how we eat our own death in products like this.....
Yes, palm kernel oil is more popular. They are both palm oil at the end of the day, however Palm fruit oil is less atherogenic and therefore a better choice if you're going to consume it.

buy a food processor and put in favorite nuts , 5 minutes later best butter ever made.... simple
Lauren Yerdon I am searching for maternity diets for my brother and sis in law... I like this! Very helpful info. You're right, NO ONE, not even doctors explain these things... I guess cause they would have no patients!

Becca Bristow : loving ur voice be a singer...
The video starts at 3:24 thank me later
what a waste of time
go waste your 3 min someplace else
Starting this video, I knew I was in for an agonizing introduction, so I scanned the comments. You have done me great service by pointing out the time the info begins and the bullshit ends. I salute you!
You're doing God's work!
thank you good sir/ma'am
Much so a waste
Seems like the majority of food nowadays are bad for you. It's scary, you don't know what to eat anymore!!!! They should never be allowed to put this garbage on the shelves, but they do, and the unfortunate thing is they get away with it.
Joyce Fortunato right, I would see why someone would starve themselves, BECAUSE OF ALL THE FAT IN FOODS :(
Undeadx Major It's sickening, isn't it???? It makes me so angry!!!!
Joyce Fortunato I KNOW :-(
Oh wow what a shock I am outrage taco salad has a wire they work for the government
Does anyone remember jif being called Jiffy..?
Withor yes now when I here jiffy I think about the corn bread
Smucker's natural peanut butter is peanuts and 1% or less of salt.. I will definitely be checking out the other peanut butter ingredients list now....... great video 💜💚💟💛💙
I am from UK and I never touch anythjng with hydrogenated fat. But problem is manufacturers here are replacing it with Palm oil.
I really wish our government would sort this out as palm oil is in bread, chocolate etc. It is terrible. I only use Meridian 100% Cashew butter or Peanut butter but other foods are just loaded with palm oil.
Great video. xx
it's not gonna happened cause the gov need money this vid make me thing what to buy what the best Peanut butter in uk ?
What these people don't take into consideration is that not everyone has the money to eat to that extreme of healthy
Good info, but I disagree with you on the palm oil, Becca. Saturated fat has been shown over and over again in recent studies (2017) not to be the culprit leading to atherosclerosis and heart disease we once thought it was. Carbohydrates and low nutrient density foods are the main culprits. We were all taught the evils of sat fat in dietetics school, but that science is changing. I 100% agree on the hydrogenated oils. They are supposed to be taken out of our food supply this year. Peanuts, because of the lectins and the aflatoxins are problematic all around. I only buy organic or stick to almond and cashew butter. Thanks for a good video!
Jaden Pearce I don’t have farmer near me and I’m too young to know how to cook so...
Ugh thank you so much for this ! I was falling for a lot of the "natural" labels !
+Nina Chavez Haha it's okay! They all got us at some pint!! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
You should make a video about pasta sauce, that stuff is so ridiculously sugary most of the time. I didn't realize it until I started to pay attention to the ingredients. Possibly condiments too just because I think it would be good to know which are semi healthy.
That's a great idea! It's so true, a lot of the jar sauces have a ton of added sugar it's crazy!! And I love the condiment idea! Thanks for watching and for our feedback!
Pretty woman trying to help us with our nutrition. Subscribed
This was a killer video. Keep up the good work. Would love a video on meat select do and fonts and maybe the same thing for veggies.
+Teddy D. Thanks! Those are great ideas!
I'm so glad that I found your channel ! What about powder peanut butter , like Pb2
Liddohdreamer heavily processed to get into powdered form I would think.
Pb2 has too much sugar and will keep fat from burning
ua-cam.com/video/HmgezAfciT8/v-deo.html
Love, Love, LOVE!!! this video. To the point, and very helpful. Will be reading them "natural" labels more carefully from now on!
Thank you for providing us with the most informative video on this. I needed it as a PB lover!
-proceeds to eat three sandwiches of Skippy peanut butter-
Just binge watching your videos and I love how in your newer videos you insert a clip of the information it makes a huge difference wen your reading them it also helps out I've learned so much already !
Yay!! I'm so glad these videos have been helpful to you :) Thanks for watching Savannah! xx

There's no such thing as bad food. Everything in MODERATION. The problem is too many people eat too much of anything.
Great video. Very informative. I want to add that there's other toxic oil like: canola oil, vegetable oil, corn oil and more.
Damn you talk so much too say so little.
Hank nothing wrong with talking so much too say so little!
Hank 😂
No, almond butter and peanut butter are not remotely "the same". One is made from nuts, and the other from legumes.
They have basically the same nutritional profile, which is what I meant. Regardless what the source is, they serve the same purpose/provide similar macronutrients.
solar clapson absolutely right.
Damn! Beautiful AND smart ! ! Thanks. I won't be eating Jif any more. I enjoyed your no bullshit presentation.
And Bye Bye To Peter Pan Crunchy half empty jar in my desk lol!!! to the trash u goooo!!
You can make your own nut butter if store bought is too expensive or there's nothing good at the store.
+Dan Johnson So true! I need to get a better blender/food processor..I've always wanted to try making my own but I'm afraid what I have now would blow up if I tried hahaha
0:00 BASICALLY I am about to talk about health and food science and our bodies/digestive system, all of which I am unqualified to talk about because I have spent my life talking about makeup and clothes
You are just a troll
The skinny on milk and the skinny on potatoes please! also cheese :)
+Jenny Olatunji Potatoes are great food but unpeeled, milk and milk products are for cows. Goat milk or cheese is a little better.
Jenny Olatunji cheese is from cows milk aswell
Farmers use the excess milk that baby cow's don't drink, stop spreading lies.
except they grow in dirt saturated with pesticide/herbicide toxins that were dumped on for the last 40 years.
My local grocery store has a nut grinder, I get fresh ground peanut and almond butter, yummy and healthy.
What's your opinion on Justin's peanut butter?
Great knowledge Becca! Very simply explained, you’ll be an excellent educator!
The peanut butter I have always used has just dark roasted peanuts and minimal salt and is so good! I stir it once and then put it upside down in the pantry so that it’s runny enough to just drizzle onto toast etc... I good tip I learned from a popular vegan UA-camr 👌😋
Love this video !! please upload more of what to look out for when shopping for groceries
I have lots of other "Skinny On" videos, and also lots of grocery hauls! You should check them out!! :)
I looked on MaraNatha's (the almond butter you had) website, and they say that the palm oil they use has zero trans fats, has less saturated fat than butter, and is cholesterol free. Whether or not you think they are bad or not you have to admit this option of nut butter is waaayyyy better than the conventional Jif or or Skippy, especially for people who are trying to (slowly) transition to a healthier diet. They also have oil and sugar/salt free options as well.
So grateful that I just stumbled upon this video. Throwing out my Jif natural tonight and getting new peanut butter tomorrow! PS. best nutrition videos I have seen on UA-cam!!
Thank you so much Jenna!! You are so nice! Glad my video was helpful to you 😊
please keep the nutrition vids coming! I am learning so much from you.
Will do!
The good news is that "regular" peanut butters don't contain trans fat anymore, Skippy's Hydrogentated Oil nowadays is Fully Hydrogentated, which is essentially saturated fat, artificial trans fats come from Partially Hydrogentated Oil.
This is so helpful! Why don't they teach this stuff in school? It makes me nervous to think about what things I've allowed my kids to eat or that I've fed my husband and myself.
I completely agree!! Everyone should have a basic nutrition class in high school to learn about food!
+Becca Kay may Jesus bless you. very helpful
Thanks LaRaven! :)
SUCH a great video. I was looking into buying some almond butter AND I feel like I found this video just in time. Thank you so much for posting this.
Stephanie Davis You are so welcome! So glad it helped :)
Very informative. Best video on Almond Butter/Peanut Butter I have seen. Great In Depth what is bad and WHY it is bad. Thumbs Up!
awesomeness Thank you!
I found Smuckers Natural Peanut butter, it only has peanuts and salt.
Thanks so much for sharing these videos I have binged watched congratulations on your accomplishments as well 🙂
GO TO FACTS TOO MUCH SHOW
Go to Walmart, get Smuckers PB organic. Two ingredients: peanuts and salt.
I gave up at 3:10 because you didn't say anything...
I love your videos! You have been so helpful!!! Thank you for always explaining everything! You're awesome!!!
Thanks so much for watching Marcy Jo! I'm so happy to help!
Partially hydrogenated oils are said to only contains trans fats while fully hydrogenated oils don't.
Thanks for the video, it was SO helpful. I've been eating that Mara almond butter... no more! Could you please make a video talking about what you think about a vegan diet? Btw you have a new subscriber!
Very appreciate your video, I love peanut butter and I look for the advice to choose the healthy one. Thank you and cheer from Thailand!
Thanks so much for watching! Cheers from the US!
This is great. I liked the last pack where you say "Back on the shelf, back away. You don't want any part of that." I love the passion to make us healthy. Although, now I'm afraid to check my almond butter. Ack! Well, here I go.
Looove this video! So informative and important. Thanks for posting it, please make more like it :)
Thank you Becca for the info about PEANUT BUTTER!
and I do thank you for the clear explanation of artery clogging and heart disease, that sunk in better than it has before.
Love these videos! Thank you for making them, that's all :)
2 tablespoons is a pretty big serving of pb
Lol that’s literally nothing I could eat an entire jar in a day
I love this series of yours! Just discovered and subscribed - could you do one on 'healthy' packaged stuff that is actually kind of bad?
ya that is why i am going to grow my own almonds and make my own almond butter but i have to wait until i have the money because i am going to buy me a wondermill best thing about this is it will do everything
could you do a video on nut milks? like different brands of almond milks?
Is kirkland organic peanut butter good? It says its made from valencia peanuts and the ingredients are dry roasted peanuts and sea salt. It doesnt say about any oils.
I so did not know about the palm oil but i had a feeling i should avoid these nut butters. Thank you so much for this.
Would you ever do a series over vegan eating? Like important nutrients to eat, protein sources, as well as the 'skinny' on vegan meat replacers? :)
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm not a vegan, and I like to promote diet balance, so I don't know if I would do a whole video on it. However, I love the idea of doing a 'skinny' on the meat replacement items...some of them are SO processed!
Full hydrogegenation does not result in trans fats. Only *partial* hydrogenation does. Trans fats are what you get in between the conversion from unsaturated to saturated fatty acids. If the hydrogenation is complete (as it typically is for peanut butter), there aren't any trans fatty acids left.
Thank you Becca for making such informational videos! Now I know what to pick a healthy nut butter ! :)
Bummer about the palm oil but thanks for the info!
Thank you!! I love watching your videos on food and nutrition so helpful!
+Abigail Toribio So glad to hear that! Thank you!
Hi Becca what do you think about the brand called Peanut Butter & Co all natural Peanut Butter? Thanks!
I just wanna know what she did with all the leftover peanut butter...?
Store it back in her kitchen cabinet
Well done! Finally someone on UA-cam with great knowledge of the hidden Trans Fats in the Peanut butter can show people the truth.
Please tell me! What is your opinion on the Reduced Fat peanut butter. I'm talking about peanut butter with less than 5 grams of Saturated fat per 100 grams. They don't contain any hydrogenated fats but a little bit of palm oil.
Thanks
Thanks so much for watching! I generally avoid all reduced fat products, mainly because they are always higher in added sugar but they will also have more additives, chemicals, stabilizers, etc so that they still taste like the full-fat original. Hope this helps!
I like peanut butter been looking for some healthy kind send me the name of it pls think u
whats the name of the healthy peanut butter again I want me some
Trouble is, you don't explain how your favorite nut butter gets to be so runny if it comes from dry, natural almonds. What additive wets it up like that?

we all know after this video you picked them peanut butters up and put them back in your cabinet
Black GOD You're so wrong for that... but damn if that didn't make me laugh @ 3:12 in the morning.
Cause I know that skippy is for her kid I know she isn't feeding a 4 y/o almond butter
so which is the good peanut butter?
Samuel Sanchez Any jar that has JUST PEANUTS as it's ingredients. (Just ground peanuts).

I've been researching peanut butter and found this video! I've been loving Teddie peanut butter. The ingredients are just dry roasted peanuts and some types have salt added. I've eaten Jif or Skippy my whole life and liked it but when I started eating healthier I really started reading ingredient labels and noticed that sugar was the second listed and there is so many grams per serving it disgusted me. I looked it up and found Teddie and it's seriously so good. I like it better than the other brands I've had. I was using the one that has salt added into it but decided to get the unsalted version and it's still so good. Natures promise is also a Stop and Shop store brand so I'm happy to hear there's one that also just has the nuts. Thank you for this video!
I like the packets Justin's sells to bring on the go and their peanut butter cups so it's so sad to learn how bad it is and I'll definitely be backing away from their products (except their chocolate hazelnut butter it's better taste and better for me than Nutella and fixes that crazing)
What kind is the last choice?
Your just better off making your own. SOOOO much cheaper! As a bonus? It taste so much better!!! (If I don't have time to make it I have a local store that have a grind your own machine that I use. It's a bit expensive tho!) I'm curious tho what do you think about PB2?
+Amanda Murphy I would love to make my own!! I'm hoping to invest in a really good blender soon (like a Vitamix) so I can do it easily! And I like PB2! I personally just prefer the taste of the real thing, but the ingredients are simple and I think it's a great option for people looking for a lower-calorie option!
I've been eating "Adam's Old Fashion peanut butter" for years and years. I love it.
When you get it home, set it upside down for a day or two which makes it easier to stir. I try to find the furthest out date, currently 7 dec. When it is fresh, it only takes one or two swipes with your knife to get mixed up. It's made by the Smuckers co..
The skinny on bread/wheat!

+Rachael Hassall how about doing sprouted grain bread, much better.

I totally changed my peanut butter because of this video!! Thanks so much for all the information! You are great!!
So glad to hear it!! Thanks for watching! xx
Well, too late for me. I already have 3 brand new jars of Skippy in my kitchen just waiting for me and I am not going to throw them out. I use a spoonful everyday to make a protein shake after working out. It helps keep me feeling fuller longer and therefore I've been eating less and losing weight. When I'm done with those I'll consider looking for the super organic type. She forgot to talk about how that peanut butter tastes though. Most people who are health nuts usually say "It tastes delicious" but then when a regular person tastes it it tastes like crap. So I want to know, does the super healthy one taste good or not?
Kay2be2mr A lot of times the "less healthy" versions have a lot of added sugar, so they taste really sweet. The more "clean" nut butters usually do not have any added sugar. If you like your peanut butter vey sweet, you may not like those without added sugar, but you would probably get used to the different taste over time! If you like the skippy brand/sweetened peanut butter you can try the Skippy "natural" - it still has sugar added, but has palm oil instead of hydrogenated oils, which is the lesser of the two "evils." Hope this helps!
I used to love the crappy PB for the sweetness. Now that I eat clean, whenever I try something sugary I don't even like it anymore. Eat whole foods, and you will like them as your addiction to sugar fades.
Becca Kay Just started on my 3rd and last Skippy jar today so I just bought the Kirkland signature 2 pack PB at Costco today. With only 2 ingredients (nuts and sea salt) and it's runny just like the one you demonstrated in the video. Not looking forward to it but oh well. Gotta eliminate sugar where ever I can.
That's the one I always eat! :)
it's when you turn 60 you have to start making better choices
Her: skippy peanut butter will kill you
Me: Continues to eat skippy peanut butter by the spoonful.
you = ignorant
is we can use olive oil in home maide peanut butter..?
Palm oils ARE good for you, Coconut oil is a palm oil, hello... everyone knows that coconut oil IS GOOD for you because although it is high in sat. fats, it is easily and quickly burned in the liver because it is a medium chain fat.
Julie Johnson yes if I could afford it I would buy coconut oil for a hair conditioner face cream and butter and to mix and everything I could find. but I can't afford it so I use it for peanut butter and making homemade butter with lecithin
Barbara Mowrey While I don't know where you live, if you live in the U.S., Dollar Tree sells coconut oil now, and it's a decent brand.
Hi. I randomly saw this while searching for peanut butter vids. It was a cool video!
By the way, I've heard from several sources that only partially hydrogenated oils give you trans-fat and not the fully hydrogenated oils. Were they wrong? I'm not a health expert.
Thanks for the information I knew that hydrogenated vegetable oils and Palm oils are bad !! We just finished the last jar of jif natural peanut butter but from now on I will buy organic 100% peanut butter with out any oils add to it thanks for the tip
+Felipe Reyes Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!! :)
Hello becca thanks you are awesome
my peanut butter has permitted stabilizing agent. is that allowed?
Excellent class on peanut butter you just taught me some valuable information thank you I'm 59 years old I need all the help I can get lol! ❤️I subscribed your amazing and awesome !!!
What do you think about Smucker's organic peanutbutter?
I use the smooth pb from Peanut Butter & Co. İt's the healthiest option I have where I live. I think it's pretty healthy but I,m not sure, can someone help? İngredients: Peanuts, dried cane syrup, palm fruit oil, salt.
Peanut butter is also Hydrogenated to improve texture and smoothness.
Loved, loved your video. Thank you for explaining it in an easy to understand way..
Thanks for the info! Making me reconsider my love for Justin's almond butter! I'm curious though, since you seem to be so interested in nutrition and healthy eating, what's your opinion on eating meat? There are lots of studies out there that say that eating meats lead to the same types of heart disease that you explain palm oil and hydrogenated oil cause. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts!
Haha I feel you girl Justin's is so good..I still eat it here and there too. And that's a great question! I personally do it eat meat, but I don't eat a ton and when I do it's usually always lean meats (like chicken or turkey breast). I firmly believe in eating a balanced diet with lots and lots of fruits & veggies, and then everything else in moderation! Hope this helps xx
Many cultures eat red palm oil, for centuries and they are healthy.
Thank you!!! This has informed me so well. That I now buy peanut butter were I literally can press the machine to grind the peanuts or almonds. And I know what I am eating. Taste way more delicious than jiff which I was eating before. Im so amazed how we eat our own death in products like this.....
How about Palm Fruit Oil? Is it good? I read that the regular one used is palm KERNEL oil.
Yes, palm kernel oil is more popular. They are both palm oil at the end of the day, however Palm fruit oil is less atherogenic and therefore a better choice if you're going to consume it.
IS american garden U.S peanut butter better as compared to the ones you mentioned in the video or not ?
loved this! what about nut butters from grocery stores where the its the giant machine grinding nuts for you (like whole foods)?
They're usually just grinding the peanuts down I'm pretty sure so the only ingredients would be peanuts, which is what you want!
I'm thanking you right now and I will keep watching all of your vids!!!!
ah i just found your videos! I am so glad that I did :) peanut butter / nut butters are literally a constant craving.
