Mmmmmmmm, peanut butter. It's seen as calorie contraband for some. Yes, it's high in calories and fat and in vast quantities this is going to do some diet damage, but consumed in moderation it's fine. Peanut butter is full of protein and fibre and the fat is mainly healthy and unsaturated. Provided you don't overdo it, it's actually a nutritious addition to your diet. Studies have shown that it can also reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes. The American Nurses' Health Study conducted research in which they tracked the diets of over 83,000 women over a period of 16 years. They found that those whose diet consisted of most nuts, including peanut butter, were least likely to develop the condition.
