Peanut butter enriches the taste of just about anything edible for over 130 years, and this nutritious and delicious spread is a rich source of healthy monounsaturated fats, which support weight loss.

A 2015 study conducted by Vanderbilt University analyzed its effects on health and found that it lowers the risk of premature death and improves health in various ways.

Peanuts are full of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, as well as fiber, antioxidants, and potassium. Peanut butter lowers LDL cholesterol levels, and the risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.
