Summary

This smooth peanut butter is primarily made from roasted peanuts, which provide protein and healthy fats. However, the inclusion of vegetable oils and a stabilizer indicates a higher level of processing, which affects its overall healthiness. The presence of these processed ingredients, particularly the vegetable oils, contributes to a lower score despite the beneficial aspects of the peanuts.

Vegetable oils
Very Bad

Vegetable oils often include seed oils like soybean or canola, which are high in omega-6 fatty acids. These oils are typically highly processed and may contribute to inflammation. The extraction and refining processes can strip oils of beneficial nutrients.

Risks

High omega-6 content may promote inflammation when consumed in excess.

Salt
Neutral

Salt is used to enhance flavor but does not provide significant nutritional benefits. It is a common additive in processed foods. Excessive consumption can lead to health issues such as hypertension.

Risks

Excessive salt intake can contribute to high blood pressure and cardiovascular issues.

Benefits

Enhances flavor and can help preserve food.
