Actually that is controversial, as some studies have indicated that a substance (I believe it's PNA) in peanut butter actually causes atherosclerosis better than natural butter, though it is not understood how. Also, I believe that natural peanut butter has been shown to have higher levels of the mold that produces aflatoxin than processed peanut butter has. I've heard that peanut butter from peanuts grown in more arid climates does not contain as much of the mold. Your article mentions that peanut butter reduces atherosclerosis.
