OK, I had to click and read why Foods4BetterHealth.com thinks that I should never eat peanut butter.

1. [i]It could contain trans fats.[/i] But does it? Nope. The ingredients in the peanut butter I use are: peanuts.
2. [i]Toxic mold![/i] However, the National Institutes for Health (not Foods4BetterHealth.com, but still) says, "The FDA believes occasionally eating small amounts of aflatoxin poses little risk over a lifetime."
3. [i]Allergies to toxic mold[/i] Regardless of whether it's the peanuts or the aflatoxin that causes allergic reactions in people who have allergic reactions to peanut butter, I do not have any allergic reactions to peanut butter.
4. [i]Pesticides[/i]. I buy organic peanut butter.
5. [i]Inflammation from too much omega-6[/i]. Nope, I don't have that.
6. [i]Oxalates[/i]. I don't have kidney problems either.

So, advice from Foods4BetterHealth.com notwithstanding, I think that I will continue to eat peanut butter. Yum![/quote]
