I really like Skippy's Natural pb. Its smooth, spreads easily and does not require refrigeration, so it travels well. I stopped buying it because of the conflicting information I found about palm oil. There seems to be an equal amount of pro and con palm oil "facts" out there. Can anyone settle the debate?

Yes, cure FAT. ..and not the good kind! Peanuts, when ground, produce an oil (You've heard of it, Peanut oil lol) which causes it to get more syrup-y. Usually the natural peanutbutter I buy seperates, but when I mix it up it gets more soupy. My best advice is to stir up the oil with the peanuts and then refridgerate it. It will become SOLID, so about 5 minutes before you make your sandwich, let it sit out on the counter and it will soften up a little. This way you don't get a Gloppy stick mess, and it's easier to spread! Hope that helps! PS: Splenda is dangerous, read about it online. It's just as bad as aspartame. It turns to CLORINE when digested in a human body... causing all kinds of problems to our body.. Pick up the Book "Skinny Bitch" by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. and Visit: http://www.womentowomen.com/nutritionandweightloss/splenda.aspx Even if you aren't a woman, this book and the link above will help!!!!

Also from a trustworthy site, the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Minnesota.

Companies can print 0 calories on their labels if the product contains less than 5 calories per serving. Splenda actually contains 2 calories per 1 teaspoon.

I first saw this at our local Sam's Club. There is no hydrogenated oils, just palm oil, which is naturally solid at room temperature. Go get some. http://www.worldpantry.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/ExecMacro/nspired/maranatha/home.d2w/report MaraNatha peanut butter is also good. I first saw this at our local Sam’s Club.
