The Truth About Nut Butter: Why It’s Great for Most People (and Not So Great for Some)
Share
Nut butter has earned its place in the pantry for good reason — it’s creamy, satisfying, and packed with healthy fats, protein, and nutrients that help keep you full and energized. For most people, peanut butter and other nut butters can support balanced blood sugar, brain health, and even hormone function.
Why Nut Butters Can Be So Good for You
A single-ingredient nut butter — just nuts, nothing else — offers clean fuel your body recognizes. Natural nut butters are rich in monounsaturated fats, magnesium, and plant-based protein, helping stabilize energy levels and crush mid-day cravings. When eaten in moderation, they’re a great way to support a healthy metabolism and steady energy.
Why They’re Not Great for Everyone
Some people don’t tolerate nuts well due to allergies or sensitivities. Peanuts, in particular, can be inflammatory for certain individuals and may contain naturally occurring molds (aflatoxins) that bother sensitive systems. Others with digestive or autoimmune issues may also need to limit nuts.
Why Most Nut Butters Are Actually Terrible
Here’s the real problem: most commercial nut butters are filled with cheap oils (like soybean or palm), sugar, gums, and stabilizers — turning a healthy food into a processed mess. Those additives can cause inflammation, gut issues, and energy crashes.
