My doc told me that peanut butter wasn't such a great thing and told me all those things you shared -- which is why I used to indulge in the nutella every now and then (before I found out I had IBS). Today when I went to the health food store I found some chocolate soy nut butter -- it says it is dairy, peanut & gluten free. It doesn't need to be refridgerated - and doesn't have any trans fats. It has 50% less sugar than other chocolate spreads -and is made from Non-GMO roasted soybeans. It is not what I would consider lowfat or low cal -- so a little bit would need to go a long way -- but as a treat now and then .....
