Are organic peanut butter sandwiches healthy?
answers (8)
Yes. Peanut Butter is a very healthy fat, and a very good way to fulfill the fat portion of your diet. Organic peanut butter is even better, because the more processed peanut butter is the more trans fat it contains.
It depends on the sugar content of the jelly, and the type of bread. Sprouted grain bread, where there is no flour, will be higher in protein and fiber and lower in carbs. Some jellies, while organic, are nutritionally bereft. Others, made from fruits high in antioxidants and lower in sugar, are much better.
No question the peanut butter is healthy!

In my humble opinion anything with sodium in it is very unhealthy for the human body.
Especially nuts which believe it or not carry small amounts of cyanide, not enough to hurt very small amounts.
Also believe it or not the pit of a peach also has small amounts of cyanide.
I won't get into to to much detail but..
Both peaches and nuts can make you loose breath.
NOTE: By the way i'm not trying to scare you it's just a little known fact that nuts can have a bad affect on the human body.

I'm glad you clarified this was an opinion. Nuts, as a category, don't have harmful effects on people.
No, not really. Like any peanut butter you'll want to watch your daily intake of this treat. My non brand-name organic peanut butter has 16g of fat, 4g of saturated fat and 200 calories per 2 tbsp (1 serving). And 1 serving only contains 2g of dietary fiber. That's not bad if you have one PB sandwich a day, but it's not exactly "healthy" like a carrot or something. 
Yes, organic peanut butter is healthy, not just healthy, yet very healthy. However, you do not want to over indulge on this great treat, as then it can be like overdosing on anything that has too much sugar. It's a better fat than some other fats, so it's a good fat.
Pros: Of Eating Processed Peanut Butter...
For or years I stayed away from peanut butter. The biggest reason was I thought it was so fatting, and in the back of my mind, I figured something that tasted that good, just could not be good for you? As of recent I have returned to eating peanut butter. After looking into the pros and cons of peanut butter, I came to the conclusion have been cheating myself from enjoying a rather healthy food stuff.Now I embrace not only peanut butter, but have gone "nuts" over all kinds of nut product's.It turns out that nuts in general are packed with all kinds of healthy nutrients... Plus, not to mention protein! Now we all know protein supples the body with energy.Natural peanut butter is high in fat - good fat - and it's cholesterol-free and has vitamin E, folic acid, and zinc. In regards to the myth that its loaded with calories. A slice of toast with peanut butter has the same number of calories as toast with a bit of diary butter. But keep in mind peanut butter is higher in nutritional components...Note:Two tablespoons contains about 8 grams of protein/200 calories, the same protein as 1oz of roast turkey. Yes the calories are a bit high, but protein and nutrition value far out weighs the worry of a few extra calories.I suggest when buying peanut butter, buy the all- natural organic brands. You won't have to worry about the small amount of hydrogenated fat, that is added to the processed peanut butter, and organic is pesticide free. NOTE: Regular peanut butter does contain a tiny, tiny amount of hydrogenated fats, less than 1% per jar. Are Trans Fats Listed on the Nutrition Facts Label ? NO---There is currently no provision for the listing of trans fats on the nutrition facts label. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is considering a proposed rule for including trans fat on the nutrition label.If you are bothered by the added Trans Fatty acids that are in regular peanut butter, I highly recommend all-natural organic Arrowhead Mills or Maranatha peanut butter. I also make my own, when the urge hits me- I have added a great recipe below, enjoy...TIP : When buying all-natural peanut butter. When you first see signs of oil at the top of the peanut butter, remove it from the jar, mix with a spatula until smooth, return to jar. You can also just pour the oil off the top as it accumulates or use the microwave to soften the peanut butter.

Yes, it's nuts not to eat nuts. Peanut butter is healthy in moderation, but almond butter is even better. It may seem expensive, but it will last awhile. It's funny how I don't hesitate to spend $15 on a bottle of wine that my wife and I can finish in a night, but $11 for almond butter sounds crazy.
To further enhance the nutrition of your sandwich, consider a spread high in anti-oxidants, such as blackberry. Also, using 100% whole wheat bread is healthier than white bread.

Because you will never win the war against hunger, your best bet is to eat foods that keep you feeling fed. This means, foods with protein and fiber--like peanut butter (and nuts, in general).
You'll feel fuller for longer if you have half a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter, as compared to the same amount of calories of a plain white bagel. The protein and fiber in peanut butter "sticks to your ribs" and is not fattening...unless you overeat total calories that day.
A Perdue University study reports subjects who ate peanuts every day did not overeat daily calories. (Kirkmeyer, Int'l J Obesity 24:1167, 2000) Peanut eaters tend to naturally eat less at other times of the day. (Alper, Int'l J Obesity 26:1129, 2002)
Plus, if you enjoy what you are eating on your reducing diet, you'll stay with the food plan and be able to keep the weight off. This is far better than yo-yo dieting!

The main thing to watch out for is the trans fat content. Trans fats are implicated in cardiovascular disease and found in most peanut butter that is emulsified. If you pick the kind where the oil separates, you're good.
