Natural peanut butter: a healthy choice

I would like to know what do you think about natural peanut butter.

Natural peanut butter is certainly a good, healthy choice because it is an unprocessed food. In addition to being trans-fat free (something found in hydrogenated vegetable oil often added to commercial peanut butter), natural peanut butter contains no added salt or sugar. However, the texture is different. You will notice, for example, a layer of oil on the surface. This is simply oil naturally present in peanuts. A little tip: stir the peanut butter then place the jar upside down so the oil mixes with the rest. You will get a texture that is easier to spread!
