More than 12% daily fiber!
Fiber is an extremely important part of your daily diet. Its best known benefit is its ability to help keep our bowels moving. Eating enough fiber will help prevent constipation. The added benefit is that it also plays a role in protecting against diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. If that isn’t enough reason to get a daily dose of fiber, it also helps with weight management by helping to keep you fuller longer. The best sources of fiber are whole foods, not processed foods to which fiber has been added.

"Natural" is an unregulated term!
One in four new products launched in 2010 had a label claiming it was “Natural”. But did you know that there is no regulatory definition for “Natural” foods? While there are strict standards for Organic labeling, it’s pretty much a wild west when it comes to the use of the word Natural. Hence you can find chips made from “all natural potatoes”. Has anyone ever seen an artificial potato?

Ideal peanut butter: peanuts, maybe salt.
The best choice when it comes to peanut butter is just ground peanuts with a tad of salt.

Fun facts about peanut butter
1. Americans consume 700 million pounds of peanut butter annually, about three pounds per person! 2. Peanuts are technically legumes (like beans), not nuts. 3. One acre of peanuts will make 30,000 peanut butter sandwiches. 4. Peanuts are a new world food, probably originating in Brazil and working their way up to Mexico. The Aztecs mashed them into a paste as early as 500 years ago. 5. 75% of homes in the US have a peanut butter jar. 6. 60% of the peanuts in the US are grown in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. Half are used for peanut butter. 7. Peanuts are rich in monounsaturated fats, which help reduce the risk of heart disease. 8. Peanut butter is a good source of protein. Just 2 tablespoon’s worth provide more than 10% of the daily recommended value. Those same 2 Tablepoons also provide 200 calories. 9. Peanut butter is also a good source of vitamins B3 and E, magnesium, folate, and dietary fiber. 10. Animals like it too. Peanut butter is considered an effective bait for mouse traps. (hmmn … maybe this explains the salmonella?)
