Uh oh. I have been eating peanut butter, which I figured was mostly safe. I

guess it's a bad choice. I have been eating a lot of walnuts though. I eat

peanut butter and jelly (with no sugar added) as a snack. Is there a type

of peanut butter substitute that you know of that is healthy?

my cousin eats peanut butter daily. She has at least 1 sandwich a day and has

for over 50 years.
