Talk of the Nation, November 7, 2008 · A new study published in the Journal of Neuroscience shows that mice treated with large doses of vitamin B3 performed better on memory tests. Kim Green, one of the authors of the study, explains whether this discovery could have any application for treating Alzheimer's in humans.

What about just plain ole’ peanuts? Especially raw peanuts, wonder if they’re as good for you as PB? Is there some “magic” in the buttering?

Nope, no magic in the butter. In fact, peanuts, especially roasted in the skin, are probably the best.

I just mentioned PB because it’s easy to keep on hand and convenient to make into a meal. :)

Thanks, that is good to know! Must be why I have such a hankerin' for peanuts!! I love them ... even boiled!

I bought some peanut "seeds"... ummm, they're just peanuts... anyway, I'm gonna try planting them. IMHO, peanuts are just about the perfect food to have on hand. And now that I know this, even more perfect!
