is my fave - nothing but peanuts. Why do people want their peanut butter adulterated with other oils?? Sure, you don't have to stir it but the oils added to make it so are not good ones, IMHO.

The added oils are sometimes hydrogenated, which means trans-fats. Trans-fats are the worst possible kind to ingest, definitely linked to heart disease.
