3:12 What is the healthiest peanut butter?
In this video, I’m going to tell you about the healthiest peanut butter. Peanuts don't typically cause health issues, but they can cause bloating for some people, and it's still important to consume the right peanuts.
Peanuts are not nuts—they are legumes that grow in the soil. Conventional peanuts are heavily sprayed with pesticides and fungicides, which seep into the soil and penetrate their thin shells. This is why you should always choose organic peanuts and peanut butter.
Glyphosate is also commonly found in peanuts. Glyphosate can act as an antibiotic and is found in many GMO foods.
Always read the label on your peanut butter and ensure it doesn't contain hydrogenated oils. Hydrogenated vegetable oils don’t actually come from vegetables at all—they’re seed oils! Also, avoid peanut butter with added sugar.
Monoglycerides are sometimes added to peanut butter. A French study linked this ingredient to cancer and found that it can increase the risk of certain cancers by 46%.
Look for peanut butter that only contains peanuts and salt. Organic Valencia peanut butter that contains only Valencia peanuts and sea salt is the best option. Valencia peanuts contain the least amount of aflatoxins. Aflatoxins come from mold and can be very damaging to the liver.
Try to have your peanuts with a meal rather than as a snack to avoid spiking insulin.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you choose the healthiest peanuts and peanut butter. I’ll see you in the next video.
I just ate 3 spoons of peanut butter.
Good for you!
I am not able to stop after 3 spoons so I decided not to eat it completely xd
Better to eat other nuts like pecans, walnuts, and macadamia.
Let’s be honest…if it’s anything tasty, it’s no good.
I just ate 3 butts
@@jimrutherford2773arent they legumes?
He got chocolate on my peanut butter.

Wait a minute…Frttrffrtttfrttftttfrt…. YOU’RE AN IMPOSTER !!!
When I was young, I craved protein because it was a very small part of the menu. Reading the labels of what was accessible to me I came across peanut butter, so I would sneak it without the bread at 2-3 tablespoons at a time. Well, it made me bloated and I really packed on the pounds. I gave it up a long time ago and do not miss it.
Just shared your video on another channel where one of the moderators posted that it is peanut bar day today (3/11/2024).
Seed oils cause weight gain, more than sugar. Many people do not know this. Guess what is in most peanut butter products.
Vegetable oils cause weight gain.
Peanuts in meta analysis cause weight loss. This is a low carb food.
The issue is most peanut butter products are mixed in with s—-d oils. Talking about this apparently can get your comment auto deleted on this platform…
Nuts in meta analysis are shown to cause weight loss.

Thank you Dr Berg!👍
Thanks Bro!😊
Thank you for sharing this
Or make your own! I do, it’s delicious
@@jovickers5313 I make my own pecan butter. I roast them in the oven for about 12 minutes and then blend them up. Game changer!
The heating makes the butter making easier but it destabilizes some of the oils and starts rancidize them be careful doing things for convenience@@redeemed2517
I was introducing peanut butter into my keto diet. Within a week insulin resistance symptoms back, and gained some abdomen fat. Right on time, great video 🎉
Was it pure peanut butter or made with sunflower oil? (some have added refined sugar)
@@SpamMouse it was the one made with vegetable oil (hydrogenated) as Dr.Berg stated. The added sugar was 12g per 100gr of peanut butter.
Why are you happy about abdomen fat
Why would someone who’s on keto NOT buy just simple peanut butter without any additional crap, oils, sugar in it? @@nehejsurii0817
Omg I love my peanut butter but I like the cheap store brand best. Probably the worst of it all. I have slipped off keto from being around family members too much. I’m now back home and trying to get back on track. I’ve gained few pounds and I’m frustrated about it and ate half jar of peanut butter last night. Got to get rid of stress. Ok dr berg no more peanut butter. Thanks for info
Isn’t it coincidental how he always makes a video on something you were just wondering about? Lol. It happens to me all the time. I’ve learned so much from Dr. Berg. Good luck getting back on track. I’m working on the same thing, myself.
Dr. Berg grazie per le informazioni! Manca il collegamento al video sulle noci..
Wow, I just finished my jar and will not refill! Thank you, Dr. B!
Or make your own, I do
@@jovickers5313How do you prepare it?
@@maroniali31 roast peanuts in the oven until golden brown, just s few minutes is enough, put them in my Vitamix for 30 seconds, voila penis butter. I often add organic olive oil to make of more spreadable. If you don’t have a Vitamix an ordinary blender may do the job
What doesn’t cause cancer? At this point , I can’t eat anything safely.
Exactly 😢
Friend, genetics and stress are far more causes for cancer than any food or even smoking. Enjoy your life.
Organic Peanuts or Organic Peanut Butter is totally safe. He was talking about added Suger, Vegetable Oils and other added chemicals for us to avoid.
@@malcolmx5167 no he is talking about Aflotoxins
There’s an agenda to to make us sick.
Costco sells organic peanut butter under the Kirkland label with only two ingredients – peanuts and salt.
Yes! And its made with valencia peanuts
Yep. And they use Valencia peanuts as well.
The “other” Dr also recently did a video while holding the Costco brand product.
Maranatha had some of the best organic peanut butter. It tastes greet without any sugar.
Love your peanut butter cookies recipe on your ‘Keto Recipes’ channel with your wife. Thanks, Dr Berg ❤
My favorite nut is black walnuts. Plus they are very healthy.
We quit eating all legumes a few years ago. Life changing!
I make own. Roast the peanuts until golden brown then into my Vitamix and 30 seconds later delicious peanut butter. I occasionally add organic Italian olive oil to make it more spreadable
yep.. do the same.. easy..and tasty
@@user-jw9lq5ib6g good for you!!👍👍
Thanks for keeping us informed. I switched to organic PB about 1-2 months ago.
Had 6-8 tablespoons of peanut butter last night…ran to the fridge as Dr Berg is still talking and yesss organic Valencia with sea salt (nothing more phew!!)
Carry on 😊😅
I eat Smuckers Natural. Two ingredients: peanuts, salt.
Not organic, but closeest I can get. I mix it with Kerrygold organic butter to make real “peanut-butter” and eat it on celery – occasionally maybe once a week.
Smuckers does make organic peanut butter. That’s what I get.
Same here – It’s a workout just mixing it up. I add a little Stevia to sweeten it up and absorb some of the oil.
I have an unopened bottle of Jif. It’s made by Smuker corporation. News to me. It’s not good on the ingredients. I haven’t eaten PB in over two years because of my new lifestyle but I do keep it just in case of emergency. The stuff last forever. 😂😂😂😂
@@user-sp1gw8gz3oWHY do you think it lasts forever…😳🤔
I buy Once Again Natural Creamy Peanut Butter in 9lb Buckets on Amazon, they got 5lb buckets too. some people complain about it, but Ive never had a problem with it, you do have to stir it when you get it.
Costco has organic peanut butter that only has peanuts and sea salt. It comes in a pack of 2 at a great price. Even as a single person I can use it all before the expiration date. I use peanut, almond, and Nutzo (a nuts and seed combo), butters in a lot of healthy snacks, smoothies, and also Chinese noodle sauces that I make.
They’re valencia peanuts too ,which is good
Any peanut butter with any type of salt is DANGEROUS. Overconsumption of salt is associated with high blood pressure, osteoporosis, kidney stones, and other health issues.
I found out that what makes me bloating in fact are vegetables. Only eat eggs, cheese, nuts and peanut butter and I’m fine, without bloating nor pain in my tummy. We’re not all the same ☺️
