How is the fat in peanut butter healthy for you?

Q: So I was having carrotsticks with peanut butter when I noticed that peanut butter has a lot of fat! How is that fat “healthy?” And if I’m trying to lose weight, should I be eating peanut butter? What’s the difference between trans fats and saturated fats? It’s all fat to me.

A: When looking on that nutrition label, it’s pretty low in saturated fat (which is unhealthy), yet high in mono and polyunsaturated fats. Those 2 fats are great at lowering your “bad” cholesterol, and raising your “good” cholesterol. Also, it has a lot of protein. And yes, it’s great to eat when trying to lose weight, just don’t overeat it. Oh and for your last question, saturated fats raise your cholesterol and of course make you fat. Trans fat is the worst of all, it will clog you arteries and give you bad blood problems.
