| Registered User | Peanut Butter - Organic or Not I have been reading everywhere that organic peanut butter is better. Is this that big of a deal? When I look at the nutrition facts of most organic peanut butter and Peter Pan(the best) they are pretty identical. Is eating organic vs. regular a must or just slightly better? Thanks. -TC |

| Nimbus Nutrition Board Rep Board Sponsor | Most choose organic for a number of reasons. 1. They're scared to consume possible pesticides in commercial products aka their worried about personal and enviormental health 2.(the biggest reason I believe) They want to avoid the hydrogenation aspects of the commercial blends. Trans fats have been positively linked to heart disease onset in various studies. I guess it kind of goes with the personal health aspects I alluded to earlier. Grab a container of both commercial and organic pb(like smucker's) and you should notice the lack of the word 'hydrogenated' on the organic label. <---Nothing can kill The Grimace!

Natty PB is the stuff that seperates in the fridge, thick a fukc, and somewhat dry. Organic is the previous. Only the proccess is changed and certain preservatives might not be in there. ~"BANANA DEATH SQUAD"= Unconsious Maker April 4th ~ Mid-Illinois in Ottawa, Ill. ITS NOW OR NEVER!

| LG Sciences Board Rep! Board Sponsor | The natural PB also contains a significant amount less sugar than the Jiffy (or similar brands). Thats a large reason why I use Natty PB now, although it tastes like cardboard. For shakes and the like you can't taste the difference. And if you put it on toast or a bagel add a little bit of organic honey on top to sweeten it. When I was bulking in college I just ate normal PB and it helped me get the necessary calories to gain weight. I've only switched to natty PB since I graduated and thats because I'm working on recomp and could do without the extra sugar. It's really up to you, but I'm sure everyone has their preference. |
