Peanut butter is a rich source of antioxidants, such as vitamin E, that protect the brain from oxidative stress and inflammation. These harmful processes can damage brain cells and contribute to the development of Alzheimer's. By consuming peanut butter regularly, we can provide our brains with the nutrients and antioxidants they need to function optimally and avoid cognitive decline (according to the Peanut Institute).

@nursefrombirth Damn. You had me until the end, when it is revealed that the Peanut Institute funded the research. I want to believe, but sorry.
@elbutterfield
I appreciate your critical approach to information. It's always good to question the funding sources of research.
While this particular article highlights findings supported by the Peanut Institute, there's a body of research beyond this specific instance that explores the potential benefits of peanuts and peanut butter on brain health. It's essential to consider various studies and sources to form a well-rounded perspective.
Here's some more info about how good for us it is.👍
We have many ppl allergic/sensitive to it here in NA, that is not the case in Africa where Plumpy Nut is used to save children's lives during famines.
Some shocking statistics in this article from UNICEF🇨🇦 .

@Krysdammit Thanks for sharing this. I wasn't aware of Plumpy Nut. Nice.
@nursefrombirth
I remember it being in the news during a major famine so looked it up.
I was taught in Home Ec in the early to mid 70s that it is an excellent meat substitute. With the price ofmeat & beef especially atm this is good to know!

Thank you for the info about the red potato (my daughter's fav potato). I'm allergic to bananas so need to find other sources of potassium. I love potatoes.😋
