America's Worst Peanut Butter Brand Is Sold In Indiana
24/7 Wall St recently ranked peanut butter brands that you can find in stores in Indiana and across the U.S. Thirteen brands were chosen as the 'worst' to avoid for several reasons. And the top 3 are popular choices for kids and adults alike.
Peanut butter is a simple, healthy food made from ground peanuts and according to 24/7 Wall St., added ingredients can lead to health issues for consumers:
Unnecessary additives such as sugar, salt, and hydrogenated oils are incorporated to enhance flavor, texture, and shelf life. Sugar, a frequent addition, contributes to health issues including obesity, diabetes, and poor dental health. Adding salt amplifies flavor and acts as a preservative, yet high sodium levels can elevate blood pressure and pose cardiovascular risks.
The #1 brand to avoid is a classic choice in the Hoosier state.
Smucker's Goober Grape is at the top of the list of peanut butter brands to avoid. The brand includes high fructose corn syrup and Potassium Sorbate, a genotoxin that causes DNA or chromosomal damage. 24/7 Wall St reminds consumers to read the labels of our favorite peanut butter brands and consider buying brands with few ingredients.
