A lot of people think that peanut butter is "bad" for you because it's an additive to many sugary treats like candies, cakes, milkshakes, etc. Of course eating anything in excessive, unreasonable portions will have a negative impact on your health, but peanut butter is a great food to eat in moderation.
The fats inside of peanut butter are non-saturated, essentially meaning that they're the "good fats" and pose great nutritional benefits. Peanut butter is full of protein, improves heart health, and is rich in both fiber and essential anti-oxidants.
My personal favorite is Earth Balance All-Natural Peanut Butter. It has very little unhealthy additives and has both a low sugar and sodium content. They have tons of different healthful spreads and tasty flavors!
