Human: I've recently started to cut back on calories, so I decided to buy natural peanut butter as opposed to the regular kind. Why is natural so watery? It looks gross. Is it actually healthier?

Assistant: Ah yes, the natural peanut butter is generally produced without the addition of extra ingredients like sugars or oils.  This means it is generally more natural and healthier than the conventional peanut butter.  Natural peanut butter tends to be much runnier than the regular, regular peanut butter contains extra sugar and oil to give it a thicker, creamier consistency.  This extra sugar and oil can actually be detrimental to one's health, so natural peanut butter is generally a more healthy and natural alternative.

Assistant: Ah yes, peanut butter is a dense food compared to other types of nut butter, so it actually contains relatively few calories per volume.  This makes regular peanut butter more calorically dense than natural peanut butter, and thus more suitable for heavy calorie restriction.  On the other hand, natural peanut butter is healthier in terms of containing less added sugar and less trans fat.  Overall I would say that regular peanut butter is better for cutting back on calories, while natural peanut butter is healthier.  I hope this helps!  Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.
