A smart choice for your arteries

Replacing butter with plant-based margarine is a small change with big benefits. Research confirms that diets higher in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) and lower in saturated fats support cardiovascular health.

A recent study in JAMA Internal Medicine found that substituting butter with plant-based oils (like those in margarine) significantly lowers the risk of premature death.

Modern margarines are rich in heart-friendly omega-3 and omega-6 PUFAs and contain no dietary cholesterol – a smart choice for your arteries.
