Is Peanut Butter a Healthy Food?
Lets break down the facts.
contains:
Peanuts
dextrose
Hydrogenated vegetable oil (rapesee, cottonseed, soybean)
sugar
salt
allergian peanuts.
(Vit A 0%, Vit C 0%, Calcium 2%, Iron 4%, Vit E 10%, Riboflavin 0%, Niacin 20%, Folic Acid 10%, Sat fat 10%, sodium 160mg 7%, potassium 190mg 5%, carbs 3%, protein 7g)
Peanuts - are they raw? organic? if no then buzz.
Dextrose - means sugar, usually form in manufactoring is corn syrup. SO BUZZ. Almost everyone has a corn allergy but don't realize it. Refined sugar - buzz. US honey, stevia, or agave nectar or unrefined sugar would be ok.
Hydrogenated vegetable oil - BUZZ. Stops fatty acid metablism. Causes cells to stop normal cellular activity or builds irregular cells (mutated).
My theory is that partialhydrogentated or hydrogentated oils, and antiacid blockers or acid pump inhibitors are the MAJOR cell damagers which sets up a situation malnutition leading to cancer in humans.
Oils types: rapeseed (also known as canola - historical not used as food source because it has a damaging effect on cardic muscles. High in erucic acid. Canola historical is used as diesel fuel source and as lubricant. High in estrogens and a BIG fattener. In 1981 a deadly disease broke out in Spain called Toxic Oil syndrome caused comsumption of colza oil, a cousin of canola oil. It was fraudently sold as olive oil. Colza is from a siminaler plant, rapa. , Cottonseed - high in negatives for health, increases estrogens in the body, soybean - increases estrogens in the human body; causes weight gain, hormone imbalances, etc. BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ!!!
Sugar - Is a refined product void of natural goodness, and bleached. Trace amounts of calcium chloride. Believed to be low in toxicity for a harsh chemical. Used as a lymeing agent in industry and road work. Do you want that in you? A lot of people have sugar allergies and don't know it. One side effect of sugar consumption is a weakening of muscular strength. Good, bad, or ulgy? BUZZ.
Beware good honey is expensive, and grown locally. Should be processed at low temperatures. Any thing hot, fast, and cheap is a big no no. The cheap store bought honeys and or comes in soft plastic bottles is a big no no. Mixed and blended off with flour and powdered milk from foreign countries. Watered down. Radiated to get to America. ETC. Powdered milk is a bad thing!
Salt - In recent years this means "table salt" sodium chloride. Sodium and chloride bleach/whitener. Possibily sugar added. devoid of mineral content salt is suppose to have. Can be disruptive to heart rythum. ETC. BUZZ.
Now to the list of vitamins and minerals. To be a truely good food anything that says 10% is a good value for procuced foods.
Remember that since this is a cooked and processed food there is little to no enxzymes and or amino acids. Both are crewsual before getting any other nutrients!
So the answer is NO. Peanut butter is not what you thought it was. It is not the super food the general media and health professional say it is.
Peanut butter is not my target, your thought process is. It is the same for all foods manufactored for long storage and transit.
Stop blindly shoveling things into your mouth, you are what you eat. So if you have ____________ you earned it. You cultivated that problem. I am not trying to be mean here, or insensitive. I was there once myself. Wake up.
I would be glad to assist you in your life changes. YOU change your life is my point, to do so you should educate yourself. Ever wonder why __________ likes you to be uninformed? Simple the uninformed are easy targets.
Remember Like myself in the beginning , The big thing to learn as you go, and remember is over cooking, canning, and storing almost completely destroys the nutrient value of ALL FOODS. Making it hard to keep healthy on a long term diet of processed foods.
Plus is you add in perservatives, artifical flavors, and artifical colors you are not eating low value foods you are also poisoning yourself. YOU. Out of ignornce. I apololgize, I too was in your boat; but I woke up before I circumed to cancer, a heart attack. However, I was getting alot of severe chest pains, chest pain kicks, body pain, migraines, shortness of breath, seizures, tired, tired, unproductive and getting worse. This is because you can't run a car or your body on low grade fuel.
You can't block or go with out a FULL accompanyment of amino acids or enzymes for extended periods of time and expect to be well! We were not made that way. We were not designed to do well on convience foods. Regardless how we grow up. Guess where mental illness and most diseases comes from? Bad nutritional habits and toxic body !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weakening your body with poor nutrition will leave you open to diseases, virsus, bacteria, fungals, and suspeptable to . . . . .
It takes a lot more nutrition or reverse ignorance or lazy then to have listened to "Pop Eye" in the beginning.
We need to eat more like people did in the 1910 - 1950's, stop the over processed dead meals. IT takes less food once your body adjusts. At first you will be eliminating toxins, then rebuilding your body, but once your systems basicly catches up, then a steady high powered diet will do you well. Won't feel hungry all the time. Or the bit of food you eat will last you longer.
Convert your body to a fat burner vs modern sugar burner.
It is never to late to improve what you have left. It is too late if you don't take action today.
