Wow I was shocked to discover that there is such a thing:

Not only that but they actually have a place set up that can help people "RECOVER"
Arachibutyrophobia and Fear of Peanut Butter Sticking to the Roof of the Mouth

O.k. and I thought this was some useful information for all those wanting to reduce the bad effects of PB who crave it:

The negative effects:
They are loaded with omega-6 fats that distort the omega 3:6 ratio
They are frequently contaminated with a carcinogenic mold called aflatoxin
Peanuts are one of the most pesticide-contaminated crops

Positives you can do:
Fortunately, there are some relatively safe ways to reduce these negative effects. First, you can obtain Arrowhead Mills organic peanut butter. These peanuts are grown in New Mexico, and aflatoxin has not been reported to be a problem in that state due to the dry conditions. The organic version of the peanut butter is also pesticide free.

Additionally, you can pour off the oil that settles on the top of the peanut butter jar rather than stirring it into the peanut butter, as this will lower the omega-6 content. If this makes it too dry for your taste you can stir in some olive oil or macadamia nut oil, both of which are very low in omega-6 fats and far higher in safe monounsaturated fats. Avoid using canola oil as a filler, as it is fraught with other potential problems.

To increase the protein in peanut butter (peanuts have about the same amount of protein as soy), Brewer’s yeast can be mixed in. This is especially useful for vegetarians.

^^ GOOD FOR YOU!!!!

On the latter note, sad, but you feel like complete $H!T after downing a jar, or two ... chocolate chips work well, preztels for dipping, then the ideas start to flow ... Saty away from the friggin PB ladies, esp. if it's calling to you .. it will only get WORSE ...

I went from one tsp, to 2 tbsp, to 4, to about 4, when I knew it was 4 big ones lol = maybe 6 ... and so on... I thought it would not happen to me ... & if you need a testament to my 'dedication & willpower'' there's over 200 pages of reading in my log ... but I'm telling ya, when you are cutting, on a diet, this is like heaven & I've seen way too many girls lose it with this stuff ... consider yourselves *warned* ... I'm not the I told you so type of Bunny :rose:
 
Yup no more mess ups with me... When I get home the PB is getting tossed out the back door. The cheese already got tossed.
I will not buy anything with PB, cheese, or alcohol in it until After July 15th. Foot is down!
