Alaska Peanut Butter - Creamy
Added sugar, salt, and hydrogenated oils reduce quality despite peanut protein; better options exist.
Contains peanuts and soy (common allergens). Hydrogenated oils may contain trans fats linked to heart disease; limit intake if you have hypertension or soy sensitivity.
What's the verdict?
Conventional creamy peanut butter that uses added sugar, salt, soy, and hydrogenated oils rather than just peanuts, resulting in a processed product with lower nutritional quality than natural alternatives.
Ingredients
5 listed · 4 flagged · estimated by AI, check the label- Roasted Peanuts (Primary Ingredient)Beneficial
Excellent source of plant protein, heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, vitamin E and minerals that support satiety and blood sugar management, though high calorie density requires moderation.
- Sugar (Sweetener)Caution
Adds sweetness but contributes refined carbs with high glycemic load, promoting blood sugar spikes, weight gain, dental decay, and elevated risks for metabolic disorders and obesity.
- Salt (Flavor Enhancer)Caution
Improves taste but significantly increases sodium levels, which can raise blood pressure, strain the cardiovascular system, and contribute to hypertension in salt-sensitive individuals.
- Soya (Emulsifier/Lecithin)Caution
Helps stabilize texture and prevent separation; however, soy is a top allergen that may trigger reactions, and it is often GMO-derived with potential digestive impacts for sensitive consumers.
- Hydrogenated Edible Vegetable Oil (E471) (Stabilizer/Emulsifier)Caution
Maintains creaminess but the hydrogenation process can create trans fats that raise LDL cholesterol, promote inflammation, and increase risks of heart disease and other chronic conditions.
