OK, so leave your clothes on, keep the food naked. For instance, lets have a little chat about peanut butter. If you are one to have a jar of JIF in your cupboards, go take a look and listen up. Peanut butter is a simple thing, in the melodic words of Barney, "first you take the peanuts and you squishem' you squishem'" The end. That should be peanut butter, throw in a little salt and you have your spread. Well, the good people of JIF along with most other peanut butter manufacturers like to add a few more ingredients. Lets take a look:
JIF
roasted peanuts, sugar, molasses, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, fully hydrogenated vegetable oil, mono and diglycerides and salt.
Real Peanut Butter
roasted peanuts, salt.
What does this all mean? It means that your good, nutritious, naked peanut has been adulterized. To hydrogenate something, it means to change the form. It is forcing a liquid form of oil to change to a solid form by introducing a catalyst, usually nickel. What this does is make the fat molecules take on a different shape which are foreign to the body. The body doesn't know what to do with them and this makes this form of oil far worse than any saturated fat. Cancer, heart disease, digestive problems, obesity. Just to name a few. Costco has a great natural peanut butter that is very affordable and tastes great. So, you have to stir it the first time you use it - no big deal. Just take the time to think about what you are eating. Keep your food naked and chances are you'll look better naked too!

Well written! You do a good job of keeping our attention and giving us some good info. It's also nice that you can make us laugh as well!! thanks for the info and the laughs!! i love your Blog! Keep up the good wook!
You are so right. We tried Real peanut butter a couple of years ago, after we thought the fake stuff was making us sick. No way will we ever go back. The naked stuff is soo much better. Now I just need to try it with other foods.
my uncle used to work for he gov. testing foods etc. He said if you only knew what was really in peanut butter you would never buy it again! He said that they allow a certain amount of contamination in all foods but peanut butter had the highest...rat hair etc. You are right! NAKED NAKED NAKED!
