Peanuts don't make you fat
Somehow the human body uses the energy from peanuts in a different way than energy from other foods. Either it doesn't absorb all the energy the peanuts have, or it burns the calories quicker, according to an experiment that nutritionists at the University of South Australia have published in Nutrients.

Public Service Announcement: Dont let this bit of interesting science "enable" you to let yourself gorge on high fat, calories dense PB more often than you should! It's still cal dense and still fat!
Also, if the PB you are binging on contains anything more than peanuts and salt, good luck with that!
