    Having read this thread I feel like I need to up my peanut butter game, we use a cheap Costco option called Skippy, it’s nice enough (I use it in smoothies) but if you want to get heart disease it’s probably full of saturated fat and therefore a good choice.

    But isn't the article saying that consuming tree nuts (peanuts) reduces the chance of getting heart disease?

  • It is.

    I think @marcomarcos is saying the ‘Skippy’ peanut butter he’s eating isn’t 100% peanuts and contains other ingredients, which are likely not healthy.
