Peanut Butter: How healthy is this favourite spread of yours? See what nutritionist reveals

Peanut butter is one of the most popular spreads and is considered to be a healthy addition to your diet.

Recently, nutritionist Richa Gangani took to Instagram and revealed that most peanut butter which is available in the markets is not pure and healthy.

In her post, she revealed that many commercial brands of peanut butter contain unhealthy oils, salt, sugar, flavourings, artificial sweeteners and even trans fat which are linked to various health conditions such as heart disease and weight gain.

Therefore, she suggested that rather than buying processed peanut butter with several added ingredients, choose peanut butter with only peanuts and maybe with a bit of salt as its ingredient. Also, you can try making this at home.

On the hand, she mentioned that small amounts of peanut butter occasionally is unlikely to cause any harm, but it shouldn't be an everyday food as it is high in calories.
