Common peanut butter is disgusting. Salt makes it nasty. The non-peanut oils used to prevent sepreration...also nasty.

Strangely, I've noticed I get nosebleeds after eating any salted peanut butter but not unsalted or any other food.

No clue why this made me laugh lol.

Looks like too much effort.

I used to make my own PNB starting with raw PN, roasting them and grinding in my blender. I've burned out a few blenders making nut butters. These days I just buy Costco's Kirkland branded organic smooth. Stayed at two 28oz jars for $9.99 for many years but they jacked it up to $11.79 in recent months. I guess it's a bit salty but it doesn't bother me. I don't salt my food nearly as much as most Americans, I probably consume less than 1/2 that. I very often take note of sodium content before I buy stuff. If sodium > calories, I tend to stay clear.

You want me to eat some and present the bloody tissue paper on AT? It's happen twice when I accidentally bought salted peanut butter months apart.

Hell no .... we want live video! ;) (also an explanation for why this whacked out nonsense ONLY happens to you!)


Sorry but I'm extremely skeptical as to the IRL cause for this.... IF it's not just some weird-a$$ attention-seeking!

I've been barely active these past few months as I'm drowning in evidence gathering and dealing with motions in court, researching because winning cases is hard especially when there's off-the-record deck stacking. You must think yourself really special to think I need attention here. In fact, the only thing I care about is winning and I'll probably get back to this thread in a year or two and eat said salty peanut butter just to burn you fools because I ABHOR being fasely accused. But you're not worth the time right now when those bitches in the court cases have also ticked me off with false bullshit against both me and my mother.

Nor do i hold you guys in such regard to bother attention seek. I've eaten pounds of unsweetened peanut butter and almond butter without any effects. None whatsoever.

If it's hobbies I'm into right now(at the detriment of the above court things), it's binge watching Yu-gi-Oh ARC-V, not you nor anyone else here.

Actions speak louder than (copious!) words! ;)

I in no way believe that your "nosebleeds" are being caused by eating salted (or sweetened!) PB .... that's just dumb.

Maybe you should visit an actual NUTRITIONIST (with a REAL degree!) and learn how to eat a healthy diet since you obviously missed that lesson.... or see a REAL DOCTOR and figure out what actually CAUSES any bleeding.

(of course that would mean listening to that REAL medical professional which we KNOW you won't do.)

I eat a scoop of natural, chunky unsalted/unsweetened peanut butter on a slice of whole-grain bread for breakfast nearly every day. (rather than eggs)

In the last 12 months my cholesterol has gone down dramatically, my resting BP is essentially normal and my blood-sugar barely registers as "type II diabetic" anymore. (latest a1c = 6.1 ... 6.0 or below = healthy)

I am normal in all categories but I noticed the other day that my A1C is on the high side at 5.5%. I figure I should try to bring that down. My doctor's never said anything but I figure why not try to get it to 4.5-5.0? Normal (for me anyway) is 4.0 - 5.6% IIRC.

From my data (I am freak for data!):

What foods lower your A1C quickly?
What is Your A1C—And How Can You Naturally Lower It?
Foods that can lower your A1C
Beans and legumes (black beans, kidney beans, pintos, chickpeas, white beans, and lentils)
Fruits and vegetables.
Nuts such as walnuts, almonds, and peanuts.
Whole grain pasta, cereal, and oats.
Flax seeds.

And exercise!!!!

I actually partake a lot in all of those things!

As you get older your a1c will go up a bit naturally .... 5.5 is nothing to worry about, however everyone SHOULD be keeping a close eye on their blood-sugar as an adult even if they've never been diagnosed with a problem.

MAKE 100% SURE you are getting an a1c test done @ every physical minimum.

Best bet is CUT EMPTY CALORIES and exercise a lot. (which you already do) Also try to completely eliminate added sugar.

My lab results list 4.8-5.6% as normal, pre-diabetes at 5.7-6.4, and diabetes anything over 6.4.
