What Nut & Seed Butters Do You Like?

Is that what Land O Lakes buttery taste spread is? That is what we use.

Oh! I just looked at the ingredients, and I am now wondering whether I should check in immediately at the ER. Ugh!

I need to exercise and diet now. That said, I don't want to drop the letter "T" in diet, any time soon.

If friends & relatives start asking you, "What is that screeching sound?", you can tell them,
It's the sound of my arteries hardening!"

You know, that spread stuff is not too good for you, right? The fats in nuts are healthier, used in moderation, of course. Maybe you can substitute the spread for a nut butter, one of my favorites, that I forgot to list, is coconut butter, made from the 'meat' of the coconut + a little of the oil. If you like coconut, it is a divine substitute for butter or similar type spreads. I can eat it right out of the jar! The fats in coconut are NOT bad for you, they are high in medium chain triglycerides which are small enough to bypass the lymphatic system and be absorbed directly into the blood stream where they can be used for energy.

Thank you for the advice, and I mean that sincerely.

Most of them are readily available at your local health food store, or they can be made at home.

Yes, I forgot to include my favorite, coconut butter! I would have included it if I was thinking straight! Besides, several others on the list are drupes, as well as legumes & no one worries about that because, as you say, it says 'nut' in the name! That's why I specified "culinary nuts", it's a catch all term.

Unless you are allergic to those nuts, it's the androgen in the nuts that causes the pimples in those sensitive to it. The nut androgen is bioidentical to you body's androgen hormone & androgen’s cause the enlargement and over-stimulation of the sebaceous glands in people with acne. This leads to the over-production of sebum, and coupled with a sluggish exfoliation process leads to blocked pores and acne. Sensitivity to these androgen’s also causes acne during the menstrual cycle and sometimes in pregnancy or during menopause.
