So I bought the natural pb (no sugar added and made of just peanuts) and it is ok tasting. I love peanut butter and could get used to the natural stuff but I just love the normal creamy sugar added stuff so! I have been eating this natural stuff and then i looked at a jar of the stuff I used to eat and it is infact low carb. It has 5 carbs and 2 fibers BUT 3 grams of sugar. So since there is added sugar and hydrogenated oils it is not a good idea to have a little here and there, right? I kinda know the answer but am just curious. It just tastes so much better than the other stuff natural stuff and soynut butter is bad.

How is the skippy new low carb stuff? is that closer to the real skippy? Would I be better off with that?

I happen to like the smuckers all natural creamy one.

I cant really tell the difference.

You might find you also like things like almond butter, macadamia butter or cashew butter.

As far as the sugar and hydrogenated oils... you already know the answer to that... its your body.

I think the low carb skippy is VERY good. I enjoy natural peanut butter, but I can't eat it without having lots of water to drink. It's so dry. The new skippy uses Splenda instead of sugar and almost melts in your mouth........give it a try

I know regular skippy uses hydrogenated oils... does the low carb skippy use them too?

The "melt in your mouth" feeling is usually a dead giveaway....hydrogenated SOMETHING is at work..

I have no clue.........I looked on their website, but they don't even have it lsited as a product. When I go to my friends house later, I will check it out. I haven't actually bought any yet.

hmmm I just went to their website to look for the splenda skippy. I couldnt find it in their products list but I did find.

What is peanut butter?
Peanut butter, as defined by the U.S. FDA's Standard of Identity, must consist of at least 90 percent peanuts with no more than 10 percent by weight seasoning and stabilizing ingredients. These optional ingredients may include salt, sugars and partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. They may not include lard or other animal fats, artificial flavorings, artificial sweeteners , chemical preservatives or colors.


So it seems the US FDA must have changed their standards or this new skippy isnt peanut butter lol.

They also admitted to having transfats in their peanut butter.

Trace amounts they claim.




I found it amusing that they didnt mention any dangers associated with trans fats.

Does the ingredient list contain sugar? You'll see this on labels when the carbohydrates are broken down into fiber, sugar, etc. Sugar is naturally occuring in nuts, vegetables and fruit. It doesn't mean the white stuff is added unless sugar is in the ingredient list.
