Peanut butter is extremely high in Phytic acid. About the same as unfermented soy has in it. Far more then any other grain.
Read back in this thread to find my explanation of phytic acid.
It leaches the body of minerals and causes tooth decay.
The fat is nothing to worry about. The body utilizes real fat that comes from real food properly.
Its the fake processed fats the should be avoided at all cost. Vege oils and shortening, and anything that says hydrogenated.
Having a craving is a sign that you are very depleted in something.
On top of that, the peanut butter is causing a depletion in your bone density and in the integrity of your teeth.
It is blocking absorption of minerals taht you are consuming, assuming are being absorbed well.
Anytime the body has an extreme craving, there is a very good reason for it, and it should be addressed, because that craving is telling you that your body is starving for something important.
For example, I craved bread/flour products most of my life.
Once I began to understand what cravings were, and I stopped consuming all gluten containing grains (even properly prepared ones cause issue for me, as I have found I have Celiacs) my body began to recover, and I no longer had the intense physical cravings.
Now, I still have emotional cravings for bread, but that is a horse of another color
Now remember, I am not a dr, but I have done extensive research into real foods, and the affect on the body that fake foods has.
You would be shocked at what scientists will not tell you, all because of who pays them.
I am part of a fast growing group that is teaching about real food, why you need it, and how to prepare it.
I partake in
www.realfoodmedia.com as much I can.
If you are craving a so called fatty food, then your body is crying out for real fat.
Every cell in the body is made up of 50% saturated fat. The brain lives off of saturated fat.
And, you cannot get fat from it either. It is impossible.
Its carbs and refined and fake foods that make one fat. Ditch all of those.
Ditch the peanut butter, unless you can make your own that is properly prepared (soak nuts for 12 hours in salt water, dehydrate at 120 degrees, then grind your own butter).
And read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, by Weston A Price.
Do the research yourself. Forget everything that modern medicine and nutrition classes has taught you.
Start eating real food only, with good portions of real fats, such as butter, raw if you can get it, coconut oil and real unhydrogenated lard.
Your cravings will disapear very quickly.
If you have cellulite, it will slowly disapear,a nd your face will smooth out, and yoru skin will begin to glow like it did when you were a child.
I have watched it happen to myself, and to everyone else that goes down the real foods path.
