No, and the #1 thing I would suggest is getting your levels checked. I also assume you eat other foods, like fruits and vegetables, grains, etc. If you don't, you need to. Peanut butter will not provide your necessary amino acids, proteins, vitamins, fiber, etc.
I once worked with a guy who every payday bought a 3# jar of cheap peanut butter and bought several loaves of day old bread (cheap white bread.) This is what he lived on almost entirely. He suffered chronic constipation, and never seemed to be in very good health.
Of course, he saved money on toilet paper!

Yes, look at the nutritional facts. Generally peanut butter is high in fats which is well....fattening. But then again, these fats are generaly "monounsaturated" which is good. Saturated bad, Unsaturated (mono or poly) good. Cholesterol is a product of animal tissues so I would not expect it would be present. It could also be high in sugars and sodium which in the proportions you consume would be worrisome.

I don't know about the goodness of it, but my bestfriend's dad, had a heart attak, he ate it like you. My friend remmembers it vividly and he told me his story.
He and his sister were just 4 years old, they were taking a bath. They were just being supervised by him, while he had a snack; peanut butter; and he, just suddenly grabbed his chest and kealed over. Their mom came home hours later they were still in the bath enstead of bed, then she realized she had a dead husband on the floor (no i'm not trying to be funny!). She put them to bed.
(now i'm trying to be funny) Its kinda sad but now, he's affraid of peanutbutter, whether it be the substance on a paperplate or an empty jar. He will run and scream or punch you in the stomach, depending on how his day is going.

Yes it is cholesterol free. There is lots of protein which is good. There is also a lot of fat which can be bad. It is perfectly fine for you as long as you don't eat so much that you start gaining weight.

if youre a nut for it and eat it all the time, keep in mind the compaines like jif and skippy add a lot of sugar to their peanut butter, try organic peanut butter! yum! and like everyone said, high in fat, good for protien, it's like guacamole high in fat but good qualities too.
