"Nearby are two small trees he's especially excited about: the peanut butter fruit and the blackberry-jam fruit. "The peanut butter fruit looks like a red olive," he says, "but tastes like Skippy and even has the same texture." The accurately named blackberry-jam fruit has a yellow exterior and a black interior. Jaitt says he knows some people in Honolulu who've been serving peanut butter fruit with blackberry-jam fruit and breadfruit. Kids apparently go crazy for these all-fruit PBJ sandwiches. Looking up, I notice a long green fruit dangling from a branch. "Oh, hey, look at that," says Jaitt." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"The best peanuts, which filled "cocktail" jars, were hand selected from a moving conveyor belt, leaving the worst, moldiest nuts to be delivered to the end of the belt to make peanut butter. Our second question concerned who was most susceptible to this AF contamination and its cancer-producing effects. We learned that it was children. They were the ones consuming the AF-laced peanut butter. We estimated AF consumption by analyzing the excretion of AF metabolic products in the urine of children living in homes with a partially consumed peanut butter jar." - T.

"Women who frequently ate peanut butter (although peanuts are technically a legume, not a nut) reduced their risk of type 2 diabetes by nearly 20 percent compared with women who rarely ate peanut butter. Combine water, lentils, onion, turmeric, and cayenne in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer for about 30 to 45 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, cumin, salt, and pepper." - Steven V.

"The carbohydrates in a bagel will be absorbed more slowly if the bagel is spread with peanut butter; the fiber, fat, and protein in the peanut butter cushion the insulin response, thereby blunting the impact of the carbohydrates. (This is why eating dessert at the end of the meal rather than the beginning is probably a good idea.) Drink coffee with your steak, and your body won't be able to fully absorb the iron in the meat. The olive oil with which I eat tomatoes makes the lycopene they contain more available to my body." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"TIP Switch from processed peanut butter to raw almond butter or organic peanut butter. Most commercially manufactured nut butters add sugar, oils, preservatives, and other additives to the mix. Read the ingredients and make sure you don't see anything but 100 percent nuts. Keep organic fresh fruit and veggies cut up in the fridge, and make smoothies using fresh fruits such as bananas, berries, and orange juice." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"All twenty-nine jars of peanut butter we had purchased in the local groceries, for example, were contaminated, with levels of AF as much as 300 times the amount judged to be acceptable in U.S. food. Whole peanuts were much less contaminated; none exceeded the AF amounts allowed in U.S. commodities. This disparity between peanut butter and whole peanuts originated at the peanut factory. The best peanuts, which filled "cocktail" jars, were hand selected from a moving conveyor belt, leaving the worst, moldiest nuts to be delivered to the end of the belt to make peanut butter." - T.

"As far as we know, it has spent none at all to protect us from peanut butter. For one of your authors, who is allergic to peanuts, Skippy, Jiffy, and Peter Pan represent a far bigger threat than Osama or Moktadar. But the difference is this: peanut butter, so far at least, is not part of a theater of mass passions. And it is this theater that draws the money and the headlines. Until peanut butter becomes part of a public spectacle, it will stay safely in obscurity. Of course, people will counter that the real danger from terrorism comes from things the world has not yet seen." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)

"Peanut Butter & Carob Cups This is the raw version of Reese's peanut butter cups.

"If you are like most Americans, your nut consumption mostly comes from peanut butter, and mostly in chocolate peanut butter cups. As for seaweed, greens, and beans . . . well, most Americans don't eat much of these at all. So if you suffer from any of the symptoms I mentioned or have any of the diseases I noted—it is an easy fix! But how do you fix it? Simply increase beans, greens, and seaweed in your diet. Get rid of the magnesium suckers like stress, coffee, alcohol, and sugar. And take an extra magnesium supplement. In other words, follow the UltraMind Solution." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Foods high in trans-fatty acids include: margarine, commercial peanut butter, and pre-packaged baked goods, cakes, pies, and cookies. Naturally occurring trans fats can also be found in some animal products such as dairy products and beef fat, since the trans isomer is produced by bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of cattle and other ruminants. These naturally occurring trans fats may account for as much as 21 percent of the food sources for American adults, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Eat natural, unsalted nut butter or freshly ground peanuts instead of commercial peanut butter. ?Make chili with lean, ground round (or turkey breast), fewer beans, and no-salt-added canned tomatoes. Top with cilantro and guacamole instead of cheese. Unfortunately, some foods are impossible to "healthy up." Examples are processed meats such as hot dogs and cheese dips. Eat these bad boys no more than two or three times a year; July Fourth, the Super Bowl, and a free pass. Just because a meal is an old family favorite doesn't make it great for your health." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"A: Some of my favorite foods are barbecued spareribs and corn-bread with butter, corn chips with salsa, chocolate, commercial peanut butter, and old-fashioned chili made of red meat covered with cheese. But these also give me indigestion, gas, and heartburn. I look for ways to make my favorite foods healthier. You may want to try the following ideas: ?Make barbecued spareribs without gobs of commercial sauce loaded with salt, sugar, butter, and vinegar; instead, use a spicy sauce of pineapple juice or honey, citrus, and chili pepper. ?" - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"United States each year—about half of it in the form of peanut butter? What's the Story? The peanut is not really a nut at all. It is technically a legume along with its cousins beans and peas, all belonging to the Leguminosae family. Legumes are edible seeds enclosed in pods. Peanuts grow underground, unlike "tree nuts" such as walnuts, almonds, and pistachios. Virginias, Runners, and Spanish peanuts are the three main types grown in the United States. Virginias (cocktail nuts) are large-kerneled. Medium-size kernels are called Runners and small-size kernels are called Spanish peanuts." - David W.

"CHAPTER TWELVE HAPPY ENDINGS ANJU DISCOVERED, BY DOING SOME DIFFICULT MEDICAL AND parental detective work, that Priya's asthma episode at school had been triggered by her just smelling some peanut butter sandwiches that kids were eating in the lunchroom. Anju went to the school and talked to the administrators about restricting peanuts from the school grounds. They sympathized with her, but wouldn't do it. These days, only several years later, it's not uncommon for schools to ban peanuts, due to the recent sharp increase in deaths among children from peanut allergies." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"An estimated 75 percent of foods eaten in the standard American diet contain these fats: most packaged baked goods, fried snacks, frozen products such as fish sticks and french fries, some brands of peanut butter, microwave popcorn, commercial salad dressings, and pancake mixes. The list goes on and on. The hydrogenation process creates trans-fatty acids—trans fats for short—unnatural chemicals associated with increased free radical damage to cell membranes. Cellular damage of this sort kindles inflammation, disease, and age-related changes." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"However, peanut butter should show the amount of anatoxin (a type of my-cotoxin) parts per million on the label, as well as the date on which the peanuts were harvested. These omissions prevent the consumer from judging the true quality of this food. Until the labeling of anatoxin is required, use with caution. Buy peanut butter without added sugar and undiluted with vegetable oils. Peanuts were not part of the legume study mentioned above. For the purpose of longevity they should not be relied on as the only source of legumes." - Byron J. Richards, The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? (Get the book.)

"Let's say I recommended eating three peanut butter sandwiches a day to cure cancer. Some people would get well and claim it was the peanut butter that did it. Then even more people would have hope, eat peanut butter, and get better, too. But we know it's not the peanut butter. It's their hope and the changes they produce in their lives while they're on the new therapy. The most important thing is to pick a therapy you believe in and proceed with a positive attitude. Each person must chart his own course." - Bernie S.
