Yes
I eat generally only "organic" peanut butter, but will say on occasion eat the fresh gound peanut butter at Whole Foods. Think this is okay or need "organic"?

On jelly side, I very seldom eat jelly, but when I do it's not "organic" but NO SUGAR (not artificially sweetened either).

Great topic as never really thought about should I purchase "organic" peanut butter too. Like to see what others post.

Thanks,
Jan

You can also purchase regular peanut butter that's NOT organic with NO SUGAR!! That's what I purchase when can't get organic at a particular store.

Think organic in these products is worth it? Curious...

No peanuts or peanut butter for me!
for what it's worth.....

I'm following diet recommended by a homeopathic doc who said no peanuts. Don't really know why. I am also on NO SUGAR or additives or processed food. I would eat fresh strawberries and almonds or walnuts.

Best wishes. Mary Ann

Peanuts = beans
and are source of carcinogenic called aflatoxin. (The China study, but we learned about that at school these 30 or so years ago)
