Love the stuff. Is much smoother than even regular peanutbutter!Tastes great...the jars aren't big enough!I've been losing weight steadily since changing peanut butters.Why? How could this be? I'm not eating less of anything andnot exercising more. I looked into this:All I can do is post what I found. --------------------------------Omega 3 and Weight Loss Benefits:Omega 3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) lower your insulin levels, so the extra calories you eat are burned off for energy, instead of being stored as body fatOmega 3 oils are anti-lipogenic (block fat storage in your body) and increase your metabolic rate, so you burn body fat fasterOmega three fatty acids suppress the production of cortisol, a stress-related hormone that also causes you to store vs. burn off extra caloriesOmega 3 fatty acids were proven to improve the blood flow to muscles during exercising, thus increasing your body's ability to burn more fatA diet rich in omega 3 oils improves the blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) so you have more energy (and drive) to workoutOmega three fatty acids increase your body's production of energy and the liver function - your fat-management organ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Decide for yourself.The omega-6 essentiloss.html#ixzz1kckR8aT3

I'm not an expert on food ingredients. I know what's good for me and I REALLY know what I like. I didn't care much for peanut butter until I talked with a nutritionist for my health and she recommended peanut butter in lieu of higher fat proteins. I looked at the nutritional information for the popular brands (Skippy, Jif, etc) and this brand is far and away the winner of all that I looked at. This does not include other types of spreads such as sunflower seed butter, almond butter, etc.This peanut butter is delicious! It's awesome on celery, bananas and just by itself. I snatch this up whenever it's on sale. I just wish it came in a bigger jar.

After reading the claims of Smart Balance about there products lowering your cholesterol, I started using the smart balance butter spreadfor over 10 years along with there other products because my choles has always been a little high, my choles did not go down it went up to about 348 and that is with exercise and using these choles lowering products from smart balance or a better kind of fat from these morons, so last year Dec of 2011 I stopped using there products because my wife was tired of the taste and we switched to regular butter and after 6 months with no other change in my diet except for removing smart balance products my cholesterol dropped to under 230,that is over a 120 points of cholesterol reduction, I will never use any of there products again in my life time and if you think I am wrong try testing your cholesterol while using there cheeseball products or death in a jar, have your cholesterol checked before during and after use of this crap, there line of trash sounds good but it is the worst thing you want to consume, this junk is dangerous to say the least. So I let the smart balance site know about the problem there products caused me and there extremely DUMB explanation was to tell me there is no cholesterol in there products, that is not what causes your cholesterol to rise you complete and total morons it is fat and different types of fat, I am letting everyone I know how dangerous this stuff is, regular butter is so much better for you than this junk. Not eating this product could save your life!!
