Peanut Butter Fudge to Remember By Danny Fox At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

The endearing love affair with peanut butter can best be described in the volume purchase of over than 800 million pounds each year. Peanut butter is every child’s desire to eat peanut butter, and a childhood without peanut butter is like not having good childhood experience at all. Many love to eat peanut butter and many love to indulge in peanut butter fudge as well. If one loves to eat peanut butter, then he is more likely to love peanut butter fudge too.

THE peanut butter fudge available at Tanner’s Pecan and Candies is so far the best tasting among all peanut butter fudges available in the market. It is also guaranteed to be fresh as these peanut butter fudges are packed and sealed in small tins. Foreign materials to contaminate the peanut butter fudge inside the tin cans are unlikely to get inside. 

Peanut Butter Fudge, Peanut Butter, and Nuts: The Health Benefits 

In recent years, peanut butter and peanut butter fudge have been revealed to be components of a healthy diet. In 2002, a study conducted by Harvard showed that women who ate peanut butter and nuts regularly less like to have a type 2 diabetes. As reported in the medical world, type 2 diabetes is amongst the fastest-growing pandemic in the U.S. In the 1990s, there was a 50 percent jump of persons diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Each year, there are about 200,000 Americans who die from the complications—which include stroke and heart disease—brought by diabetes. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition December 1999 issue had an article which reported that Penn State researchers have found that a diet or food rich in nuts and foods that are high in monounsaturated fats reduced the risk of heart disease by 21 percent. Compared to a more traditional low-fat diet, monounsaturated fats noted a 12 percent drop.

All about Peanuts

A one-ounce serving of peanuts supplies about 14 percent of the daily recommendation for protein and 8 percent of fiber. It also contains 25 percent of vitamin E, 20 percent of niacin, 12 percent of magnesium, and 10 percent of copper, folate, and potassium. That handful of nuts also contains about 170 calories. Women who ate more peanut butter showed a lower risk from becoming diabetic. In the same study, it was found that women who reported to eat a tablespoon of peanut butter a day, at least five times a week, had 21 percent chance of reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes compared to those who rarely eat peanut butter or those who never ate it. For those women who consumed five ounces of nuts a week noted a 27 percent decrease in their sugar level as compared to those women who have never, or almost never have eaten nuts. The diets of peanut butter and peanut eaters showed to be higher in vitamins A and E, iron, calcium, folic acid, zinc, magnesium, and fiber while nuts with load-full of monounsaturated fats have been found to lower cholesterol.

 In July 2003, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a qualified health claim for peanuts, pecans, hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios, and walnuts, for use in the product’s package labels and advertising. Once packages of nut products meet the FDA's requirement, it can now carry the following claim:

 "Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease."

Never be worried if peanut butter and peanut butter fudge are high in fat. It won’t contribute much to one’s weight gain because the fats found in there are healthy fats. It’s how much or the quantity of peanut butter and peanut butter fudge that makes one fat.

With all the scientific studies, a person even on an strict diet can still have a taste of the lip-smacking peanut butter and can have a some mouth-satisfying peanut butter fudge treat.

It’s nice to go on diet especially if you continue to enjoy eating the mouthwatering peanut butter fudge from Tanner’s Pecan and Candies.
