Peanut butter is high in healthy fats
Although peanut butter is high in fat with 7.65 g of fat per tablespoon - almost 10% of the daily recommended value - it contains mostly good fats. About 80% of fat in peanut butter is monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
Eating polyunsaturated fats can help lower your LDL, or bad, cholesterol.
Peanut butter also contains small amounts of saturated fat, a type of fat often found in animal products such as butter and red meat. According to a 2020 review, reducing your saturated fat intake decreases your risk of cardiovascular disease, such as heart disease or stroke. A similar review in 2010 found replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fat - like that in peanut butter - can also reduce your risk of coronary heart disease.
