Nutritionist notes: Peanut butter can either be a healthy or unhealthy food to eat depending on which brand you buy. Many add oils, sugars, or artifical sweeteners. You should avoid these at all costs and opt for natural nut butters. Even those that claim to be "natural" are not in many cases. To identify the real natural ones, the ingredients on the nutrition label must only say roasted peanuts. Some add a bit of salt and that is fine. Brands to avoid: Jiffy and Skippy. Preferred brands: Costco's Kirkland, Crazy Richards, Teddie All Nautral.
