ALDI Bramwells Smooth Peanut Butter

This is the best peanut butter on the market, and actually CHEAPER!

This is not a good, healthy, peanut butter – For starters, where the management of Aldi can undercut Australian Farmers, by getting cheaper, lower quality, foods, from the other side of the planet - they will. There are tons of really great peanut growing farmers in Australia - but the management of Aldi buy their peanut products from Brazil - on the other side of the planet. It's transported all the way around the world, by container ships running on dirty bunker fuel.

Secondly the formulation is approximately 13% sugar, in it? Why - sugar is addictive. They add this because they want to make you buy more.

Thirdly the other ingredient is palm oil. Palm oil is according to the experts, very bad for you.

San Francisco, Calif. – With the FDA widely expected to announce a ban on trans-fats within the year, America’s sweets and snacks makers are rushing to eliminate the offending ingredients from their products. But the primary replacement they’re turning to most – palm oil – isn’t much better for people’s health, according to Dr. Andrew Weil, America’s leading expert in integrative medicine. What’s more, most of the palm oil found in America’s food supply, dubbed ‘Conflict Palm Oil,’ is produced in ways that cause large scale rainforest destruction and human rights abuses.

Dr. Weil joins a chorus of voices expressing concern that, when it comes to replacing trans-fats, we may be jumping out of the frying pan and into the deep fryer. The World Health Organization; the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute; the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases; and the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service all recommend against consuming palm oil and other tropical oils because of their high content of artery-clogging saturated fats.

Experts say that eating saturated fats, as well as trans fats, raises levels of low-density lipoprotein, also known as “bad” cholesterol – and increases the risk of heart disease. Katie Ferraro, a registered dietitian and an assistant clinical professor at UCSF, told the San Francisco Chronicle, “You would never call palm oil heart-healthy, even though it’s trans-fat-free.”

So yeah, this is another reason to buy from ethical suppliers and manufacturers, instead of Aldi.

Great Peanut butter. We are older and love it – This is a great product but, out of stock in three stores in the Charlestown area. Has been that way for at least four days. Must be a very popular product
