This review is from: Skippy Natural Creamy Peanut Butter, 16.3-Ounce Jars (Pack of 12) (Grocery)

while I have rated the item with 5 stars because of the product itself, not the sale from Amazon.
I was on line trying to find this product in bulk. Amazon sells this product 12 jars for $30.90 which abmounts to $2.575 per jar. It is soooo much cheaper to buy this in a grocery store. Thus, I don't recommend purchasing it thru Amazon

While not simply made from peanuts and salt, this is great peanut butter. I've bought other brands of natural peanut butter for several years, and while needing to stir them certainly isn't the end of the world, it does get annoying. Besides that, the taste of other brands--while okay--seemed to lack something.

Skippy, on the other hand, does taste great... I think it is better than any other brand or type of peanut butter. I am a "moderate" health nut and I do not consider the sugar and palm oil to be that bad. 2 grams of sugar won't kill you. Palm oil, while it does contain saturated fat, it is also a natural source of vitamins A and E. As for the saturated fat, unless you are eating a whole container of peanut butter a day or have other major sources of saturated fat, it won't kill you.

Yes palm oil is a saturated fat. The reason Palm Oil is added to things like peanut butter is to keep them shelf stable without going rancid. The peanut butter most of us grew up with contains partially hydrogenated oils. Either type of Oil acts to keep the natural peanut oil from separating in the jar. Technically you could do the same thing with mono or poly unsaturated fats but the shelf life would be significantly reduced and we would most likely be urged to keep our PB in the fridge. Nutritionists are divided on just exactly how bad for you trans-fats are but most of them have decided that in moderation saturated fat is better for you than trans-fats. The result. The industry is returning to the saturated fats that trans-fats once replaced. Trans or Saturated the amount of other fats added to virtually all peanut butter is so small (around .5g per serving) it poses only a limited health risk (pure peanut butter will have around 2.5g saturated fat before additions). And yes this is a natural peanut butter. The Palm oil, sugar, and salt have not been chemically altered hence Natural. That does not mean pure.
