I eat about a large jar a week of peanut butter...so I should probably live forever!

It's 'Adams" natural PB ,crunchy of course. I have been eating it like this for many,many years and I think's it has been very beneficial to my cardio and non-cardio health.

If I could,i could eat a large jar a day,but my system could not handle that!

I love peanut butter,by the large spoonful.

But peanuts DO NOT LOVE ME! Everytime I eat them I get terrible bouts of gas with lower back pain that lasts for days! It's terrible. I have tried every type of peanut--redskins, spanish peanuts, yellow peanuts, salted peanuts in the shell (my favorite), unsalted peanuts in the shell--all of these give me terrible gas and back pain! The only nuts I can sometimes eat are pecans, pistachios (in moderation), and almonds (slight gas). So, I really love peanuts, but they don't love me!
