So example of peanut butters that have hydrogenated oils will be Lady's Choice?

And btw,does natural peanut butter contain oil on top?

Almost all contain hydrogenated oil.
If the ingredient list contains: vegetable oil, then there's hydrogenated oil added. Manufacturers sometimes use hydrogenated vegetable oil vs vegetable oil interchangeably.

You are able to get natural peanut butter from bakery shops / cafe.
Look out for them.

P/S: Get those that has a coating of oil on top of them, that's what peanut butter supposed to look like !! That is also the reason why manufacturer add hydrogenated oil (so that their peanut butter looks good).

Have to check that up.

I purchase my PB from nearest local bakery, homemade without any brand.

Maybe I should rephrase it as 'doesnt have to have oil floating on top'

Floating is fine, but that doesnt mean non floating ones arent. Check the ingredients.

Can. But a bit stupid. Nutritionally, it's good stuff.

It's not the protein content that matters, but how the manufacturers prepared them.

Natural peanut butter tend to seperate at room temperature (oil will float on top) because its melting point is 3 deg celcius. Manufacturers then hydrogenate the oil to maintain its creamy consistency. This will create transfat, and this is the evilest of all fat out there (more evil than saturated fat).

Nowadays instead of doing that, some manufacturers add palm oil into the mix because they liquify at 35 degrees, so there's no need to hydrogenate.

If you really want to find good peanut butters, go to Cold Storage or Jusco supermarket, where you can have wider range of peanut butters instead of your hydrogenated Jiff and Ladies Choice.

For organic peanut butters, it's just how they farm the peanuts and what they put inside the peanut butter - with pesticides or no pesticides, with organic sugar or high fructose corn syrup.

Syd, just wanna clarify...
Is it listed as palm oil or palm kernel oil or hydrogenated palm kernel oil?

All 3 of those things are a bit different. Palm oil is the one we use for cooking, made from the pulp of palm; and palm kernel oil is from the kernel/seed.

Only HYDROGENATED PALM KERNEL OIL is solid at room temp. And this is why Msian chocolates taste lousy. They use Hydrogenated PKO instead of real cocoa butter. =)

It's labelled as palm oil. The one used for cooking is unbleached, deodorized, refined palm oil olein. Naturally palm oil has stearin and olein, red in colour. Since I'm not a food manufacturer I dont really know whether it's palm stearin or palm kernel stearin (both dont need hydrogenation to stay solid btw, so I'd like to correct your statement there tongue.gif) ... so as I mentioned, if you're really paranoid - make your own biggrin.gif
