We ended up with 4 jars of Peter Pan Peanut Butter that was
recalled. Everyone here ended up at the doctors office. I'm
thankful I stopped eating it when I noticed the Canola Oil
(rapeseed) products getting put into it.

Canola is the least of your worries. Though I
have a friend, who has her own massage oil
business, who once told me that the plant itself
is quite toxic, so the oil has to be cleaned with
benzene - one of the most carcinogenic chemicals
known - and that the benzene residue is not entirely
removable. I put canola in the same category as
alfalfa sprouts: It was never a food in the first
place, so it shouldn't be blindly assumed to be
a suitable food now. .. A few fashionable nutritionists
on TV made a big deal about mono-unsaturated
fats and it became a craze. Meanwhile, the same
people raving about mono-unsaturates, because of
reduced carcinogenic risks due to the reduced cross
linking of double-carbon bonds, are storing their
oil in a cabinet, at room temperature, with no added
anti-oxidants, and using it to fry food. So any cross
linking that *can* happen probably has by the time
they finally eat their *healthy* canola oil.

If you look at the Peter Pan label you should also
see that it contains sugar... which offsets the bitterness
of the rancid peanuts that end up in industrial peanut
butter. And if you want to get more worried, look
up aflatoxin. (Peanut butter is now allegedly tested
for aflatoxin, but the stuff is apparently surprisingly
potent even in tiny amounts.)

I tend to avoid peanut butter because of the slight
aflatoxin risk, but if you're going to eat it you might
want to get actual peanut butter. That is, ground
peanuts, rather than rotten peanuts mixed with
vegetable oil and sugar.

Bon apetit!




However, I test my
tastebuds out to see if I can detect flavors by taste and tasted
a small half a teaspoon of it and fell ill. Two jars of the Peter
Pan Peanut Butter were purchased in after June 2006. Two
were purchased in December of last year. All had the 2111
lot number.

So the salmonella stuff could have been in the Peter Pan Peanut
Butter since the middle of 2006.

I wonder how they mixed raw meat in with the Peanut Butter.
