Processing aside, peanut butter is very similar to
other butters in terms of

Although short - term randomized clinical trials have shown a beneficial effect of high protein intake, 3,4,20,21 the long - term health consequences of protein intake remain controversial.8,9,22 - 25 In a randomized clinical trial with a 2 - year intervention, 4 calorie - restricted diets with different
macronutrient compositions did not show a difference in the effects on weight loss or on improvement of lipid
profiles and insulin levels.26 When protein is substituted for
other macronutrients, the dietary source of protein appears to be a critical determinant of the outcome.
