In 1996, Brandeis University licensed us to produce and market its blend of natural vegetable oils which they developed and patented to help improve the important cholesterol ratio. We utilized this precise blend of natural oils and created Smart Balance® Buttery Spreads (no hydrogenated oil or trans fatty acids), cheese and other foods. This remarkable spread is an ideal, ready-made fat source to be used in a healthy diet to help provide the right balance of fats for cooking, baking, recipes and table use. We believe that a balanced fat diet, along with other healthy lifestyle factors, can reduce the risk of heart disease. Such factors include no smoking, regular exercise, limiting total fat consumption to about 30% of calories and dietary cholesterol to under 300mg per day. Avoid foods with trans fatty acids.
The 7-day Food Plan and accompanying recipes are designed to get you started on a healthy diet with the right balance of polyunsaturates, mono-unsaturates and saturates - including, a favorable balance between Omega-6 and Omega-3 polyunsaturates. We call that Omega Balance™ and it is growing in importance in our products and in our Food Plan. The rest is up to you - i.e., regular exercise, no smoking and other healthy lifestyle choices.
We hope you enjoy following this Food Plan and using our Smart Balance® Buttery Spreads and other foods. I would welcome any comments you may have.
