I don't want to pay for the chemicals or additives, I just want the unadulterated product. Therefore, my money is better spent than yours. If I get a reaction to something, I can nail down what caused it. In your case, with all the processed foods, there is a gazillion ingredients that could have had an adverse effect. Artifical vs real food, that is what you are essentially arguing about.
Just read the labels, if your okay with the ingredients, and know what they are..........go for it. But don't tell others how to shop.
i posted up the ingredients in my skippy peanut butter. what in there worries you?
its funny how people use specific words to try to create a mental impression in people reading them to either make something sound better or worse. you support real food while im arguing for artificial food. (im not exactly sure how my peanut butter is artificial. just because some preservatives may be added to a food doesnt magically make it artificial or harmful.) im defending evil chemicals. its silliness. you are arguing in favor of the mental benefit people get by thinking they are eating something thats healthier when it really isnt.
ALL those who don't want the "processeed" unwholesome foods just leave them for the rest of us. You just go on with whatever you are attempting to do [whatever that is] I'll gladly get all the PB I can [sometimes that's all I can eat without being sick]

aside from any information you can find on peanut butter or it's contents, I have never heard of peanut butter molding,, I've had it all my life & love it & will not stop from having it when I want it. I've been able to keep peanut butter around for a long time, it generally doesn't last long enough anyway for me to discover any mold if there were to be any, but guess I won't be keeping a jar of opened peanut butter around for a year to find out if it will mold.
Try almond butter, which in my opinion is better than peanut butter.
You can grind your own almond butter at whole foods, and it tastes havenly, especially with sliced apples. Kids love it.
Eh, you can buy or make peanut butter that's simply ground up peanuts. How's that for processed?
That's how I buy my peanut butter. There are nut grinders in bulk foods. I buy just enough to get my family through the week and store it in the fridge, although that's not essential. I don't worry about mold, but if someone contracted aspergillus, at least we'd know where it likely came from.
Hey friends - I was wondering what your thoughts or experiences were regarding peanut butter. I exercise daily and load up on protein whenever I can. I add peanut butter to my protein rich shakes but have been told that I may be exposing myself to high levels of harmful mold.
Thanks in advance...
I've never heard of moldy peanut butter. As a snack I eat peanut butter on granny smith apples.
Nonsense! Peanut butter doesn't get moldy and doesn't need refrigeration.
I have a jar of peanut butter that contains only dry-roasted peanuts and salt that requires refrigeration after opening. Although salt may be used a preservative, I envision the potential for microbial growth given the nice layer of peanut oil that is inherent.
