Unfortunately it *is* more expensive than the regular PB, but I think it's well worth it. :) JBA -- http://poorlittleteacher.home.comcast.net "Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater." Didn't seem tooo much more expensive.. got some last night when I ran across it.. it is really good especially if you prefer it sweetened a bit or don't like the natural as much because of the texture.. it's also very smooth and creamy.. I hope they come up with a chunky version.

[quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > I'm just ticked that we now have something to go with our Strawberry > > Jelly made with Splenda and low-carb bread that the kids will eat! This is good news! I've learned to like the taste of natural peanut butters, but they have to be refrigerated and never spread that easily. We don't have a Super Wal Mart around here, so I'm expecting the new Skippy will be hard to track down here until it goes completely mainstream, unfortunately. > This is good news!

The non-refrigerated ones typically use partially hydrogenated fats, which you want to avoid. Signaturejamie (jamiemck@newsguy.com) "There's a seeker born every minute." Hello, > well.. splenda is just made from another part of the sugar molecule > that they don't leave in *regular* sugar so it can hardly be [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > not to roll my > eyes so much.. Splenda is made by an alteration of a sugar molecule actually. Table sugar is a string of carbon atoms with oxygen-hydrogen groups attached to them. The manufacturers take three of the oxygen-hydrogen groups off of the sugar molecule and replace them with atoms of chlorine. Take care, Carmen > well.. splenda is just made from another part of the sugar molecule that > they don't leave in *regular* sugar so it can hardly be considered > *artificial* in my opinion.. now excuse me while I smack my head against the > wall the unstick my eyeballs.. grannie always told me not to roll my eyes so > much.. The reason you should smack your head against the wall is because Splenda has absolutely nothing to do with something "left out" of regular sugar. Perhaps you're thinking of molasses. Splenda is made from sugar that has been is deliberately *altered* by chemical means to *be* an artificial chemical that is not sugar.

I was looking at peanut butters today--mainly because I wanted to see whether the new one was in and look at its label. Seems all (?) of the normal peanut butters have partially hydrogenated oils in them. Some have hydrogenated oils too. (Anyone know how these are compared to the partially hydrogenated ones?) I wonder how long this has been the case? (Just like the vegetable protein that is in a lot of the cans of tuna now... You assume that a food is what it has always been, and then one day, you look at the label. Maybe I should not have thrown out all the old food in my mom's pantry. I'd love to be able to compare some products then and now.) SignatureJean B. >>>I wouldn't feed that to my kids. There are still unknowns about artificial >>>sweeteners.

That's because it prevents the oil from seperating at the top. People don't like to have to stir. I don't think that it's a big deal at all. My family much prefers the "natural" peanut butter anyway.

They hydrogenated fats? Yes, they have been there all along. The way I look at it, I'm gonna have to put the knife in anyway. I think that I can handle stirring it a few times before putting it on whatever I'm eating (wasa crackers are a favorite!) Yes, it is a pain (full jar, lots of settling) the first time you open the jar if you purchase the kind that comes that way (as opposed to grinding your own at Whole Foods or wherever) but after that, not an issue at all.

The PB from Trader Joe's that just contains peanuts and salt, which I mearned about here, solves all of those problems. And it is softer. You can even pour off some of the oil and still get it stirred together quite well. SignatureJean B. >> They hydrogenated fats?

One time we had the kind that is diluted with crisco and sugar and salt and the kids gagged. They simply were not used to it as they grew up with the "peanuts only" kind. One time stir and stick it in the fridge and it's stirred for as long as you have it. Storing it upside down before you initially open it too sends the oil to the "top" (now the bottom) making it easier to stir.

How are you doing? >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > What does weather have to do with it CM? In spring and summer, I have the easiest time filling up on water because I am so darn hot. Then when I actually *am* hungry, it's a no-brainer that I am going to eat the proper things. In the winter, I am less likely to drink water. It's largely a psychological thing, but when I am already feeling the cold, downing a cold glass of water isn't something I dream day and night about, so it has to be a more conscious effort. Likewise with extra exercise. In spring/summer, I walk *everywhere*, but I'm more likely to accept rides or hop a bus in winter. > Anyway, I am happy uo are back. HOPing that the damage done by your > recent withdrawal from your plan was not too severe. *gulp* twelve pounds of damage, but that's not going to get any more! I take comfort in the fact that I lost SEVENTY altogether, and this could have been far worse. I've heard stories of people gaining all their weight back and then some before going back to healthy living. Once again, however, the motivating factor wasn't even the weight gain. It's the same as the original motivation, I just want to FEEL better and healthier, which I don't when I allow myself to slip into old habits.

Well this started a huge thread just for little old peanut butter! I do prefer that the low-carb version has less than 1 gram of sugar per 2 tablespoons to the 3 grams of sugar per 2 tablespoon in my old peanut butter. I don't have time to make my own and do not care for the texture of the natural. Hey, my husband won't eat bananas because of their texture. *shrug* Personal preference. Everyone has 'em. I am trying to teach my 11 year old to watch what he puts into his mouth and to read labels. Just because he is 11 doesn't mean he shouldn't be knowledgeable about foods and carbs. Would rather he learn now so he can avoid weight problems in the future. And to his credit, he is doing an amazing job and I'm proud of him. So I will say again (without the typo from my previous post) I'm just tickled (not ticked) that we now have something to go with our Strawberry Jelly made with Splenda and low-carb bread that the kids will eat! Teresa W. "Life is a succession of readjustments........" Just today, I bought a jar of peanut butter that contains only peanuts and salt. Some peanut chunks in there as well. Absolutely fabulous tasting stuff, much better than Jif. Thanks for your tip. i > Well this started a huge thread just for little old peanut butter!

Makes sense, but then you should tell him that trans fats promote heart disease and shouldn't be on the label of anything he puts into his body.

I seem to recall that product has hydrogenated oils in it (tranfats). I just buy the old fashioned peanut butter that shows only peanuts and salt as the ingredients. It needs occasional stirring to keep the oil and paste of the PB mixed. thanks for the heads up! your making me hungry, guess its time to eat something! ;) Signatureread and post daily, it works! rosie It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach. ..............................Franklin Delano Roosevelt REGIME CHANGE BEGINS AT HOME ****VOTE**** > Wow!

Hey Rosie! How's it going? There is a slight seperation problem but I make smaller quantities. I just dump in a cup or two of peanuts in the food processor and turn it on and then put the peanut butter in a smaller container. I don't refrigerate it as that is not necessary because it is just peanuts with nothing added. Because it is a smaller quantity it is very easy to stir and spread.

Can someone suggest how to make one's own PB? Separation is not a problem to me, I can stir it if necessary. I own a champion 2000 juicer, it's a powerful machine and can probably grind peanuts. It has a 1/3hp GE motor. Should I use roasted peanuts? i > Hey Rosie! > [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] >> > > Jelly made with Splenda and low-carb bread that the kids will >> eat! Hmmm ... roasted peanuts might be missing peanut oil.

It is bad for you...but since it's "low carb" nobody seems to care about all the crap of questionable value they put in it. why not just eat natural peanut butter. it tastes pretty good and you really shouldn't be eating tons of peanut butter in any event. >Wow!

That kind of PB--like Skippy and Jiff, is about 1/5 added fat. It's smoother, and I know a lot of people prefer it, but I think peanut butter should have nothing more than peanuts and maybe a little salt. Think of a PB sandwich with, say a tablespoon of peanuts in it and a teaspoon of Crisco. If you took a jar of natural peanut butter and stirred in a teaspoonful of regular sugar, it would still be a lot healthier for you than the processed peanut butter with Splenda! > Wow!

It is sweetened [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > I'm just ticked that we now have something to go with our Strawberry > Jelly made with Splenda and low-carb bread that the kids will eat! On my shelf is some generic brand of peanut butter from Aldi's - about 10 jars or so (I have a food storage program here - I buy in bulk). The stuff has sugar listed as an ingredient, so is not at all intended to be low-carb. This cheapo stuff has 6 grams carb and 2 of fiber for the same size serving. So... buying the low-carb stuff you have would save all of 1 carb per serving. I can't see why I'd pay more for *1* carb less. I give up this argument! Everyone else here is right and I'm wrong! I shouldn't eat peanut butter unless it's natural. I shouldn't feed my kids anything with Splenda in it because it's not "natural". I'm a bad mother! LOL Gadzooks! > Wow!
