2:30 Valencia peanuts DO NOT grow on bushes higher up off the ground, they to grow in the ground. The difference is Valencia peanuts come mainly from New Mexico where there is a dry arid climate, so the risk of mold drops substantially in Valencia peanuts.
GaminNinja, for clarification: I am referring to natural peanut butter you make yourself or go to a grocery market you can make peanut butter from their nut butter machines. The only organic foods I trust come from my local farmer, with which I have a close relationship for years now...as I stated previously in my other post most organic foods or products sold commercially are bullshit, marketing garbage, bottom line.
+Dr. Josh Axe - It would look like an infomercial if you start showing products. I think we all know what a freakin' jar of peanut butter looks like. Also, very informative video and thanks for making it. I took notes.
I was so sad in the beginning, then he said that if you get organic peanuts it’s fine, and I make my own peanut butter and buy organic peanuts, and then he said if you consume omega-3s, you should worry about the omega-6s, and I add peanut butter to my healthy ice cream/smoothie bowl with chia seeds.
Love peanut butter, once a week on one bit of toast. Like my grandmother said, everything in moderation. And our peanut butter is strictly controlled in New Zealand, all organic
So is that hydronated oil sitting on top of natural butter. I got some almond butter from whole foods. It doesn't say hydronated oil on the ingredients list...but how do I know for sure???
Once a week is not moderation lol, that's like 'blue moon' frequency. I've consumed peanut butter almost every day of my life, and will continue. :shrugs:
I'm well aware of the TLDR nature of this post, but I'm going to share. The only real problem I see with this advice is the idea that you're going to get bioavailable omega-3s from plant foods at all. Although there is currently some research being done on specific species of algae that can produce both DHA and EPA omega-3s, other plant foods have omega-3s in the form of alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA. For whatever reason, despite its terribly low bioavailability, the USDA still lists ALA as an "essential fat". ALA cannot be directly used anywhere in your body (as DHA and EPA are used primarily in the nervous system), and require special enzymes to convert them to their bioavailable form. Unfortunately the rate of conversion is extremely low; about 1g in 20g of ALA is effectively converted to DHA for use by the body, so even if you pour cups of flax seeds on everything you eat, you're not getting the benefits that you would from a 6oz can of sardines.
Your biggest mistake was taking anything the FDA says as something to seriously consider . Seriously? Have you ever looked at the old food pyramid, or the new one; or looked at the population grazing at the food court in the mall? 80% of our food isn’t even allowed in Europe
@@phoenixrisin2269 The FDA have effectively been neutered by lobbyists (thanks, republicans! And yes it is them) where a company can halt FDA assessments of their products and can, then, _self declare_ that they feel the substance is safe. Essentially a voluntary process.
Sadly, most food is bad for you, due to corporate contamination with chemicals/toxins, in some form or fashion. Most produce, including conventionally grown peanuts, have heavy herbicide/pesticide contamination. That contamination is also passed along to animals products (meat, diary, etc.) via what is fed them. All refined cooking oils also have disturbingly high concentrations of pesticides/herbicides, in addition to their chemical/thermal processing contamination.
They still use pesticides in organic food and some of these natural pesticides are more poisonous to us. The organic food myth is just that a myth. Peanut butter is one of my favorites but im not scarfing down giant amounts. Too much of anything is bad that's why I get so annoyed with videos like this that ignore the real issues and mislead us.
Factory processed for doesn't serve your HEALTH after a certain age. Just look at the ingredient list. Just look at the extra purge factor in americans it's from factory food. Folks in Canada, Europe are leaner. It begins with the food, soil
My mom used to make me peanut butter and honey sandwiches when I was in grade school. Time to start eating them again, but using 12 grain bread instead of white. Graham crackers, peanut butter and honey are also good.
Love that you put flax oil in your peanut butter, I saw a lecture recently and the study, the speaker was presenting showed flaxseed oil to be one of the best anti inflammatories. So I pulled it out of my frig this week and wow, my OA is settling down and It has helped me do moderate exercise again.
Interestingly regarding weight gain: peanut butter paste is used as a first supplement when people are starved. It's very important in the fight against starvation. I agree tho peanut butter often has a lot of ingredients a normal person doesn't need e.g. sugar etc.
Love the tips! I’m a peanut butter addict, I will start consuming only organic ones from now on.... I eat a lot of salmon the flex seeds for the omegas 3... also omega 3 supplements :)
Man, listen. Respect to your knowledge.. my grandparents and there friends lived well into Late 80's and early 90's. Today's food is straight garbage.. stop Going. out to eat, cook at home, clean your food. Doctors like him hopefully are bringing attention to the situation to the industry.. I know it's a money thing. Stay healthy my friends. Peace.
I purchase organic, valencia peanut butter with no added oil. Then at home, I add organic flax seeds (and raw slivered almonds) because I like the taste and the extra crunch. Is that as beneficial as adding cold pressed flaxseed oil?
I was eating quite a lot of peanut butter (organic, no sugar), and my acne got so bad. I have pimples even on my neck, never had this before. So I am planning to stop eating it
Wow now I have to keep track of my omega 3 and omega 6 ration in addiction to trying to eat more greens and cook and grow. I feel like you have to be a scientist these days. Is this health info infinite??! I'm so overwhelmed.
Question: Why is peanut allergy almost unheard of in some countries (like here in the Philippines)? I have never heard of peanut allergy in my country in the 48 years I have lived and we are heavy consumers of peanut. We use peanut for main dishes, snacks, spreads, and they are a popular street food.
@@MichaelDeLaRosa I don't have any food allergy I est fish 4 times a week for omega 3 and 1 table spoon peanut butter a day and I eat. Pesnuts too and almonds and peanut butter powder mix with pea powder my inflammation stay low depends on the person and history family origin
Idk man. I live in NCR and I have a classmate who got allergies after eating ice cream with peanuts in it. Plus I was asked if anyone had a peanut allergy in a restaurant just recently.
I’m 74 and grew up on a farm in eastern North Carolina USA and ate a lot of peanut butter as did everyone I knew. Nobody had allergies to peanuts and I never heard of that until the last thirty years or so. Don’t know what changed but I think there were some recommendations from pediatricians to avoid peanuts for infants. Now I read that that is changing.
I've been eating all natural peanut butter for years, no additives, no salt. Peanuts only. Now the company came out with an organic version as well. So now what am I supposed to think I've been eating all these years, pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides? World has gone crazy with all the gimmicks and/or bad for you food.
He musn't get to the grocery store a lot because there are many brands of natural peanut butter (with most stores having a house brand), containing only peanuts and maybe salt. And with most of these kinds, the oil is separated out at the top and you can pour some or all of it off, maybe instead of adding more oil in the form of flax seed oil to balance the omega 6:3 ratio. Just some thoughts...
Great tip! I just started getting the natural peanut butter and mixing the oil in was a pain anyway. Just pour it off for health and convenience. This is why I read comments. There's the odd gold nugget in the vast sea of crap.
Good video, but with one caveat; all plant and animal life and their products are automatically and essentially organic, and that may come as a surprise to many. Granted, these products often INCLUDE non-organic substances, most of which are not healthful. The term 'organic' has evolved into a loose and ill-advised expression which is used to scare folks into buying items that they cannot be sure are truly exclusive of non-organic material. This is not to ridicule your video, which I think is one of the more balanced explanations on peanut butter.
My wife got me hooked on putting peanut butter on bananas, apples, in my Cream of Wheat and Oatmeal. I initially lost 20 lbs but after I started mixing peanut butter in the above foods, my weight loss stopped. I didn't gain any but I flatlined. I looked at the carbs and it wasn't really that bad. Then, I looked at the calories and there are about 100 calories per tbsp. Hell, I was going through a large jar of peanut butter a week. I didn't quit the apples and bananas but quit the peanut butter add on. My weight loss started again. Yep, I miss the peanut butter.
Peanuts are not a nut. I switched to ALMOND butter. Yum! Yeah, the cost is 3-4 times more. Oh, well. I currently consume ZERO peanuts or peanut butter.
Dr, Axe. Thanks for all the information and your advice. Too many idiots posting but nothing new. People against truthful as well as health related information.
They really like to stress what you should and shouldn't eat. With I don't much of anything they talk about in this video and still have problems with everything they mention So there is not one diet fits all. What works fr one doesn't work for another.
I crave peanut butter. I have binged on it many times. Slathering it on bananas, apples and celery, I have eaten a whole jar in 18 hours. Then I notice my IBS gets worse, and constipation is worse. The bottoms of my feet get rough and cracked. When I stop eating PB, these issues start to disappear significantly in two weeks.
The real reason so many are allergic to peanuts is because there is insecticides used - round up etc. All peanuts are grown in the ground. We switched to almond butter years ago, but now I can't have almonds.
Zeinab Abdullah Yes! A respectable CALCIUM and IRON source, and probably vitamin E, zinc, manganese, etc. The label won't list all nutrients, but you can easily look it up online. I love tahini on a whole-grain toasted bread with fruit preserves, and a cup of tea. Excellent!
I don't know why I underestimated you (i tend to listen more to old doctors with glasses and a wisdom beard), but once I listened to your videos...my god you're good ! You're really really good ! Never jugdge people, lesson learned ! :)
Comparing your clip, Doc, with another Doc's on peanuts, I find yours balanced and informative without being unduly frightening. Orchids for your peanuts! I buy roasted, non-salted peanuts in a 16oz jar, at my market for less than $3.00. Also, I buy peanut butter, ground in the specialty food store where I sometimes shop. Their product is $3.00/lb. They do not add any oils at all; no trans-fat worries. I add a tablespoon of peanuts to my oatmeal in the AM, and often eat the butter on a slice of wheat bread. I never experience any ill effects.
So there's a variety of GROUND nut that actually doesn't grow underground ? Care to post a link ? I shouldn't be surprised. An academic presentation I saw the other day claimed cashews were also a legume.
So in other words, in terms of the peanut allergy, it's not really the peanut itself that the immune system reacts to, but it's actually the mold that accumulated in the nut while it was growing?
hi Doc Axe. how about Soy sauce?? is it bad for you? and is it also considered as a GMO food coz its made out of Soy..thanks it is really famous condiment here in asia.
Organic plain peanut butter is healthy right? Like the 365 brand with only peanuts and sea salt as the ingredients? I’ve been eating it daily, I hope so 😬🤞🏼I get it from sprouts or Whole Foods.
If only I could add a bit of natural peanut butter to my diet but the minute I buy a jar there is no peace in my bones until I don t eat all straight then and this happens absolutely every time such an easy food to binge on and so many people have this problem withe the peanut butter. Its really true that is why I never buy it no more to avoid a massive binge and then regret it or worse.
Can large amounts (3/4 cup every night) of natural sugar free peanutbutter cause a yeast infection recurrance? Or is it more likely I'm just itchy from my peanut allergy as a whole? I consume no refined or even fruit sugar at all. Only grains are a couple yellow corn tortillas & quinoa.
No fruit is a Huge problem. The glucose in fruit is exactly what your body & brain needs. It is recommended that all adults eat a minimum of nine servings of fresh, whole fruit everyday. Refined (processed, packaged) sugar is the killer. Please look into it & eat fruit!
I started to have break outs and get pimples when I was having daily PBJ sandwiches to maximize protein intake. Cut it out of my diet and skin is back to normal.
Fred Cannon lols I eat gym peanut butter cream type, zero all just peanut. Keeps my weight in check and heading to my 40s soon. I only bought sugar once in life. In my fridge for around 7 years there’s no oil pot, the salt is barely used but it’s hymalaian. Docs tell me I’ll live looooong and Altho I’m already kinda old ppl still think I’m 17-22 tops. My cholesterol is zero and no need to worry. I prefer dark chocolate but I only eat industrial things such as chocolate x2 or x8 times a year. Rest is pure raw salads I often eat saltless like I’m from 1000 b.C haha or fruits I eat with the peanut or alone. I can’t afford much food and when I can eat fancy I order local pizza once every 1-4 months small one and use olive oil and lemon on it, or buy green tea frapuccino. Things I like even off diet are pretty harmless usually. I don’t feel well if I don’t eat lots veggies daily and fruits honestly. 7 years I don’t drink milk and when I can afford I get soy milk. But I get enough calcium from vegetables that keep my stomach calm and blood pressure super calm haha. Good for me. But a tip is no need for the American full of bad stuff peanut butter. Get pure peanut cream and know how to prepare it - it will become awfully delicious as good as the fav chocolate fondue I used to get at best chocolate shop here. Perhaps I upload the recipes I created online. I also figured out how to make popcorn delicious without oil.
ZymixProductions, this is what I get but didn’t he say Valencia peanuts are the one to get? I can’t find a brand of peanut butter with it. Might just have to find the peanuts and make my own in a blender.
I used to have a PBJ sandwich every single day for lunch in grade school. I started buying my lunch in middle school when my parents got divorced and my dad wouldn't pack my lunch. Yes, you can make your own peanut butter.
I eat peanutbutter for breakfast (with a hardboiled egg ontop) 2 peanut butter half sandwiches for dinner and one slice for supper along with a salad. I'm addicted, but I don't even use 2 tablespoons (1 serving) for each slice. I barely use 1 serving per slice.
Amitabha Metta LOVE Nope, the Aflatoxin isn't eliminated entirely by roasting, but since it heats the peanuts it stops the mold from increasing, so maybe less danger than raw peanut butter, which is still surprisingly good! You know, I sometimes stir a bit of honey and minced garlic into roasted peanut butter. Promise it tastes great and cuts back chance over-indulgence.
Actually organic peanut butter has higher levels of aflatoxins than the conventional peanut butters, and the peanut butter that is ground at the store has higher levels of aflatoxins than the ones in the jars on the shelf.

Yeah, the cost is 3-4 times more. Oh, well.
I currently consume ZERO peanuts or peanut butter.
Dr, Axe. Thanks for all the information and your advice. Too many idiots posting but nothing new. People against truthful as well as health related information.
Well said.
I wanna thank u so much Dr. Axe 'cause, i love 2 put peanut butter in my shake
No, just get the peanut butters with only salt and peanuts in it. That's it. You buy the brands then yes peanut butter is unhealthy.
Life's too short.......if you like peanut butter.......go ahead and enjoy it. Super crunchy for me, Skippy!!😊
They really like to stress what you should and shouldn't eat. With I don't much of anything they talk about in this video and still have problems with everything they mention So there is not one diet fits all. What works fr one doesn't work for another.
Aloha Spreads uses Valencia peanuts in their coconut peanut butter! Super good!
Excellent thank you Dr.Axe for this concise and exact description ..
Unsalted roasted peanuts is good for you because its high in coq10, magnesium, zinc and protien..FYI, most nuts are high in OMEGA 6 FATTY acid...
Did you listen to the whole video, he covered what you are saying.
I crave peanut butter. I have binged on it many times. Slathering it on bananas, apples and celery, I have eaten a whole jar in 18 hours. Then I notice my IBS gets worse, and constipation is worse. The bottoms of my feet get rough and cracked. When I stop eating PB, these issues start to disappear significantly in two weeks.
no one watching this will stop eating peanut butter, its too good
Yes Mr Joseph Paterson I eat 5 to 6 tablespoon of peanut butter everyday it is so nice
It's peanut butter jelly time ...🎵
The real reason so many are allergic to peanuts is because there is insecticides used - round up etc. All peanuts are grown in the ground. We switched to almond butter years ago, but now I can't have almonds.
i eat 100% ground seasame tahini with toast for breakfast is tahini healthy?
Zeinab Abdullah Yes! A respectable CALCIUM and IRON source, and probably vitamin E, zinc, manganese, etc. The label won't list all nutrients, but you can easily look it up online. I love tahini on a whole-grain toasted bread with fruit preserves, and a cup of tea. Excellent!
I don't know why I underestimated you (i tend to listen more to old doctors with glasses and a wisdom beard), but once I listened to your videos...my god you're good ! You're really really good ! Never jugdge people, lesson learned ! :)
Mars Bel he’s the best doctor in the world 💙 ( in my opinion 😌 ) he really changed my life 🙏🏼🌸
Comparing your clip, Doc, with another Doc's on peanuts, I find yours balanced and informative without being unduly frightening. Orchids for your peanuts! I buy roasted, non-salted peanuts in a 16oz jar, at my market for less than $3.00. Also, I buy peanut butter, ground in the specialty food store where I sometimes shop. Their product is $3.00/lb. They do not add any oils at all; no trans-fat worries. I add a tablespoon of peanuts to my oatmeal in the AM, and often eat the butter on a slice of wheat bread. I never experience any ill effects.
I just make my own peanut butter. Is that okay?
could you do a video about almond butter? thank you
Buy Costco Organic Valencia peanut butter and you’ll be fine. $10 for 2.
Food in the US looks dire. Seems to be very little control over ingredients and quality. Hydrogenated oils are banned from food in EU.
Peanut butter soup is the most delicious soup on this planet. Using peanut butter with no added sugar or preservatives.
So there's a variety of GROUND nut that actually doesn't grow underground ?
Care to post a link ?
I shouldn't be surprised.
An academic presentation I saw the other day claimed cashews were also a legume.
I love my peanut butter cooikes!
So in other words, in terms of the peanut allergy, it's not really the peanut itself that the immune system reacts to, but it's actually the mold that accumulated in the nut while it was growing?
Berg said it could be the Glyphosate that is absorbed
by the peanut that is causing the allergies.
hi Doc Axe. how about Soy sauce?? is it bad for you? and is it also considered as a GMO food coz its made out of Soy..thanks it is really famous condiment here in asia.
Jungle Peanuts must've given him a lot of money lmao
Organic plain peanut butter is healthy right? Like the 365 brand with only peanuts and sea salt as the ingredients? I’ve been eating it daily, I hope so 😬🤞🏼I get it from sprouts or Whole Foods.
To you and your work Doc....
If only I could add a bit of natural peanut butter to my diet but the minute I buy a jar there is no peace in my bones until I don t eat all straight then and this happens absolutely every time such an easy food to binge on and so many people have this problem withe the peanut butter. Its really true that is why I never buy it no more to avoid a massive binge and then regret it or worse.
Thought I was the only one
eating peanut butter whiles watching this
Depends what’s in it ?
Jiff v.s. Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter. Check the ingredients out.
So which nut butter is better? Almond butter? Or cashew🤔
Can large amounts (3/4 cup every night) of natural sugar free peanutbutter cause a yeast infection recurrance? Or is it more likely I'm just itchy from my peanut allergy as a whole? I consume no refined or even fruit sugar at all. Only grains are a couple yellow corn tortillas & quinoa.
No fruit is a Huge problem. The glucose in fruit is exactly what your body & brain needs. It is recommended that all adults eat a minimum of nine servings of fresh, whole fruit everyday. Refined (processed, packaged) sugar is the killer. Please look into it & eat fruit!
I started to have break outs and get pimples when I was having daily PBJ sandwiches to maximize protein intake. Cut it out of my diet and skin is back to normal.
Not even to mention all the sugar and corn syrup they're putting in the majority of the commercial brands of peanut butter.
Fred Cannon Try the Smuckers Natural. Ingredients are Peanuts and salt
Fred Cannon lols I eat gym peanut butter cream type, zero all just peanut. Keeps my weight in check and heading to my 40s soon. I only bought sugar once in life. In my fridge for around 7 years there’s no oil pot, the salt is barely used but it’s hymalaian. Docs tell me I’ll live looooong and Altho I’m already kinda old ppl still think I’m 17-22 tops. My cholesterol is zero and no need to worry. I prefer dark chocolate but I only eat industrial things such as chocolate x2 or x8 times a year. Rest is pure raw salads I often eat saltless like I’m from 1000 b.C haha or fruits I eat with the peanut or alone.
I can’t afford much food and when I can eat fancy I order local pizza once every 1-4 months small one and use olive oil and lemon on it, or buy green tea frapuccino. Things I like even off diet are pretty harmless usually.
I don’t feel well if I don’t eat lots veggies daily and fruits honestly. 7 years I don’t drink milk and when I can afford I get soy milk. But I get enough calcium from vegetables that keep my stomach calm and blood pressure super calm haha.
Good for me. But a tip is no need for the American full of bad stuff peanut butter. Get pure peanut cream and know how to prepare it - it will become awfully delicious as good as the fav chocolate fondue I used to get at best chocolate shop here. Perhaps I upload the recipes I created online. I also figured out how to make popcorn delicious without oil.
ZymixProductions. That is the kind i buy. It says NON GMO on the label . I like to mix it with Natural Honey.
ZymixProductions, this is what I get but didn’t he say Valencia peanuts are the one to get? I can’t find a brand of peanut butter with it. Might just have to find the peanuts and make my own in a blender.
I can't find good peanut butter anywhere where I live
Learned a ton
a simple tip, if you want to stay healthy, just don't eat anything
I used to have a PBJ sandwich every single day for lunch in grade school. I started buying my lunch in middle school when my parents got divorced and my dad wouldn't pack my lunch. Yes, you can make your own peanut butter.
It dad was a lazy man it seems. U poor poor thing 😪
😁😁
Thx Dr. Axe I love peanuts. U explain them very well in here and in one ur las videos about their testostron levels. Great video. Thanks
I eat peanutbutter for breakfast (with a hardboiled egg ontop) 2 peanut butter half sandwiches for dinner and one slice for supper along with a salad. I'm addicted, but I don't even use 2 tablespoons (1 serving) for each slice. I barely use 1 serving per slice.
Also, if they are roasted, then no worries about mold.
Amitabha Metta LOVE Nope, the Aflatoxin isn't eliminated entirely by roasting, but since it heats the peanuts it stops the mold from increasing, so maybe less danger than raw peanut butter, which is still surprisingly good! You know, I sometimes stir a bit of honey and minced garlic into roasted peanut butter. Promise it tastes great and cuts back chance over-indulgence.
Actually organic peanut butter has higher levels of aflatoxins than the conventional peanut butters, and the peanut butter that is ground at the store has higher levels of aflatoxins than the ones in the jars on the shelf.
some of my friends (50lbs over weight) SMOKE DRINK CHEW, smoke pot, eat pot brownies, DRINK 15 BEERS a week, 8 glasses of WINE per week for the ladies THEY LIVE in the drive thru Fast Food in their cars THEY WALK less then 5 miles PER WEEK they only drink 1/2 a gallon of water per day and 1/2 gallon of Starbucks Coffee OR 7-11 Slurpies / but they are healthy because they buy daily one pint of bottled water from a mountian top on Mars / they also eat daily Sugars White Flours and lots and lots of Salt / most of my friends think potato chips are actual vegetables / they also eat an average of 75 pounds of meat per year (average in America) grilled in oils / vending machines, thanksgiving, holloween, valantines day, christmas, easter ham, 5 happy birthday CAKES a year per family, memorial picnics, (one gallon of mayo per year) 4th of JULY, and 7-11 hot dogs / and they order about 25 pizzas per year and eat donuts, cookies, SODA SODA SODA, and more soda (coke pepsi) and 40% of them take medications and 70% take sleeping pills / who are my friends you ask? AMERICAN's God bless them / so my question is this IS ONE TABLE SPOON OF PEANUT BUTTER daily BAD FOR THEM???!!! / i think you hear my sarcasim here Doc..... i commend you young man for even attempting to help people on this subject of FOOD! i am older so i am old school / American's would solve about 80% of their issues if they just did what their Grandparents did.... eat and cook at home 3 meals a day, eat mostly vegetables, fruits, rice, soups, small amounts of meats (back then your grandparents couldnt afford meats every day) and homemade breads, eggs from a farm /(drink mostly WATER) they all lived to be 80 on this lifestyle and they worked until 70 with lots of health / my grandma lived throu the Great Depression and when we took her out for her Birthday she would order a plain fish sandwich and cup of soup, then wrap 1/2 the fish in her napkin and put it inside her purse / when i asked her (i was 10) why did she do that? she smiled and said, Thats My Dinner, you never know where or what will happen next, she said.

Thank you sir ,. From Qatar
Smuckers Natural 2 ingredients : peanuts and salt
At 2:30 in this video ....Really? Both Jungle peanuts and Valencia peanuts are grown underground. " All " peanuts are grown under ground. I've grown both of those varieties myself. First hand experience.
