Peanut Butter Revisited

I am in the process of changing computers. It is a bummer. So far I have 3 browsers on my desktop: Netscape (my old fave), Safari, and Firefox. (IE was immediately dumped with neither ceremony nor gravestone). While perusing different new home pages and clocking the time to get to pages (on a slow dial-up connection, we're talking minutes rather than seconds), interesting tidbits of Important News flash by (in a mind numbingly slow sort of way).
I was delighted to see an blurb about PB:

Lose Weight on the Peanut Butter Diet

Eat 4 to 6 tablespoons of peanut butter every day. You'll lose weight and you won't be hungry. Yeah, yeah, peanut butter is loaded with calories. But it's also packed with monounsaturated fats, which Men's Health magazine calls the original death-defying potion. In fact, the magazine goes so far as to say we should all be on the Skippy Diet to reduce the risk of heart disease AND to lose weight.
Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital concluded that people who consumed foods that were high in monounsaturated fats, including olive oil, avocados, and peanut butter, were more likely to lose weight and keep it off than people following a more regimented, lower-fat diet. These amazing claims were backed up by researchers at Purdue University. It's really pretty simple: Peanut butter is filling. BUT. Limit your Jif Diet to no more than 6 tablespoons of the gooey stuff a day.
In case you need justification to go on the peanut butter diet, how about justifying a healthy heart? Peanut butter may just lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. Reuters reports that Italian researchers have concluded that women who consume less vitamin E may be at a far greater risk of heart disease and stroke. Vitamin E seems to protect against plaque build-up or arteriosclerosis at the carotid bifurcation, the Y-shaped branch in the arteries of the neck. And peanut butter is packed with vitamin E--along with canned salmon with the bones, canned tuna fish, olive oil, almonds, and sunflower seeds.

There was more stuff about vitamen E but to summarize take 2 of the little vitamin E softgels (total 800 IU) (less if you're keeping up with your PB) to live forever.

I could go for a Peanut Butter cookie.
