In reply to Greta.

Thanks for your input. I’m just following doctor’s orders and if she says “No butter” then no “real” butter it is.

you can try to mix a combo of 1/2 olive or canola oil and 1/2 butter then putting that in the fridge to use. It is called best butter by Elson Haas

I agree with Greta! If it’s not real, don’t eat it! The partially hydrogenated soy bean is not a good thing. I have been slowly getting my family to eat natural real food, it’s a challenge with some things, and it does take some time to do your research.

Honestly, I would use butter before using a fake butter. The fake butters have all sorts of weird stuff in them. I looked up Shedd’s Spread, and the ingredients are a little alarming.

Vegetable Oil Blend (Liquid Soybean Oil, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil)Water, Whey (from Milk)Salt, Vegetable Mono and Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin, Potassium Sorbate, Calcium Disodium EDTA) Used to Protect Quality, Citric Acid, Artificial Flavor, Vitamin A (Palmitate)Beta Carotene (for Color)

This might be my next “What’s In It? Wednesday” post!!! Maybe which fake butters are healthier than others. The partially hydrogenated soy bean makes me worry.

Good luck with the blood work!

I like SmartBalance as well. I can’t tell a huge difference in it. We don’t use butter a lot other than on bread or in recipes though. Hope your clood tests come back okay and that you can get back into exercise! Good luck on the poll!!
