A member asked:

Is almond butter safer than peanut butter while pregnant?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Both Safe: Peanuts are a little more allergenic than almonds, and the fat in almonds is a little healthier than that in peanuts. But both good. Eat what you prefer.

Perhaps: It's certainly a good idea for nursing moms to stay away from peanut butter according to some allergists. Peanut allergy is severe and potentially life threatening...
