Default Re: Good deal on Skippy Natural after Target printable

I've been meaning to post on this thread and continue to get interrupted or sidetracked...what I wanted to say was that you need to watch the "natural" peanut butters because many of them (including Skippy I believe) are made with palm oil. Palm oil is a saturated fat. It can raise your blood cholesterol levels, unlike corn oil, safflower oil and soy oil which are high in polyunsaturated fat and can reduce it. This is semi-controversial and there are conflicting reports, but I try to avoid it because I am one of the ones on the side that it is not good for you. Many Kashi products have palm oil in them as well, which is why I always read their labels carefully, and only eat their organic items.

Granted, they don't have HFCS, but if you can stay away from the palm oil too, then you're that much better off...in my opinion.
