Well does anyone actually know the difference between natural peanut butter and "Skippy" or "jiffs" "artificial peanut butter? If you did you would know that it makes no difference weather you use "natural" peanut butter or the normal kind most of us are used too.

The only difference between natural peanut butter and the "artificial" peanut butter is natural peanut butter lacks trans fat, while "artificial" peanut butter has added trans fat too it. If you don't add the trans fat to the peanut butter eventussauly the oil will separate from the peanut butter and collect at the top. With the added trans fat the natural fats will never separate from the peanut butter.

At least this is how i was told it was made by a creditable source. So it appears too me unnatural peanut butter should be better if anything too use, because it has both the natural fats and trans fats added too it, its simply the same + more.

does anyone have any reason not to believe this?

Easy enough to read the label..... if it has more in it than just peanuts and salt, don't buy it.

The stuff that has trans-fats, the trans-fats are from the lard they mix in to keep it from seperating.

BTW, stir the natural stuff up real good, then refrigetate it and it won't seperate.
