It's not "American brand" peanut butter. It's just bad peanut butter.
I buy an American-made peanut butter that I have to stir.
Local grocery store has a machine where you can grind peanuts into fresh peanut butter on demand for about 10 cents more per ounce than the mass market stuff, and it's amazing.
They stole the oil?
Emulsifiers? Our Peanut Butter is also too sweet.
I feel a lot of the big mass brand peanut butter is too sweet a lot of the less mainstream and even cheaper “off brand” peanut butter is less sweet at times. Unfortunately, do like my sweeter brands
chemicals r scarry
edcation is laking
This is true, was educated, am lake
I don't get it.
Many US peanut butter manufacturers add emulsifiers and other chemicals into their peanut butter so that it remains homogenous.
The realization is that the person would be eating those emulsifiers, and some people have claimed that they have negative health consequences, which is probable, although I don't know if they do or not.
Not sojalecithin?
Peanut butter is mostly just hydrogenated oils, but emulsifiers in things like Ice Cream are horrible for you, added to prevent separation of ingredients. Some destroy the blood brain barrier, damage gut flora health, and a bunch of other bad stuff.
Citation needed. Most of the emulsifiers in ice cream are simply different sticky carbohydrates. Usually beans.
Studies show that there might be an impact that contributes to risk factors leading to an increased risk of certain metabolic disorders. This means that we need more study, not that there's anything that warrants changes in behavior or saying anything definitive.
Article in the guardian, and elsewhere a couple years ago. It's not a secret, the problems with some of these emulsifiers. In fact it's common knowledge to those of us whose heads are not inside the asses of billionaires which may not include you admittedly. No offense.
An article in the guardian is not a resoundingly strong source, particularly given how news sources like to report health topics.
If you look at any of the reviewed research by academics, it's pretty clear it's something they want to look at more, but it's hardly a definitive "horrible for you" or destroying the blood brain barrier.
In one study they only let mice drink emulsified water, and then gave them a food substance they were allergic to. This resulted in an increase in diarrhea.
If you're going to cite the guardian and "common knowledge" as your source, you might hold off on the "head in ass" accusations.
Emulsifiers gonna emulsify 🚬
How to inhale peanut butter to undo ~10yrs of smoking?
I was curious.
Apologies if you're actually quitting. My jocularity is quite weird.
Triple Flavor
Breath
WTF?
This made me kinda queasy looking at it lmao.
I actually quit everything last year. I still get some cravings every now and then, but throw that onto the pile of consequences from my youth. Not the worst withdrawals I've experienced, but definitely was the hardest to fully quit.
which is probable
Why would this be probable? Evidence?
Many things are probable.
I chose that word because it is possible that there could be health issues caused by the emulsifiers in american peanut butters, but also I don't know if it is.
Probable is an apt word when something isn't necessarily impossible.
You will also note that I didn't use the word likely, because I can't say whether it is likely or not.
"Plausible" is what you wanted. "Probable" means "likely".
I meant it in the secondary definition of the term, which is "establishing a probability".
Plausible is also a good word for it, but probable is still apt
You aren't establishing a probability.
Or, by saying "probably" you are establishing a probability of > 0.5.... with absolutely no proof.
This is the first time I've heard that definition. It seems like a niche definition that can easily result in misunderstandings
That's why just buying peanuts and a food processor is the way to go and just make the amount of peanut butter you need when you need it.
Or just mix the peanut butter up really well when you first open it before putting it in the fridge. Warm peanut butter mixes really easily, while cold peanut butter takes a long time to separate again.
Fancy stores you can buy peanuts and run them through the machine that turns them into peanut butter.
