"How about Skippy peanutbutter? It's got partially hydrogenated Veggy oils....I guess i should curve my use of this deadly food. hehehe"

They make peanut butter like you find in the grocery store by removing the fat from it, hydrogenating the fat, then putting it back in. They do this so that the fat in PB won't separate out at room temperature.

My grandmother used to refrigerate her natural peanut butter to keep the fat from separating out. That is a better alternative, methinks.

Smuckers has a natural one with no partially hydrogenated oils. It isn't easy like the "spreadable" ones, but I eat a bit of it. Don't eat much peanut butter anyway. I burned myself out on peanut butter and bananas on toast after having it just about every morning for years.
