American Heart Certified Promise Spread
American Heart Certified Promise Spread

Supportive but not conclusive scientific evidence suggests that eating about 1 ½ tablespoons (20.5g) daily of soybean oil, which contains unsaturated fat, may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. To achieve this possible benefit, soybean oil is to replace saturated fat and not increase the total number of calories you eat in a day. One serving of this product contains 5g of soybean oil.

Promise® buttery spreads are a great option in a heart-healthy diet, when eaten instead of butter, as part of a diet low in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol. Promise® buttery spreads are delicious, creamy spreads that contain no partially hydrogenated oils and 0g trans-fat per serving, see nutrition facts for fat and saturated fat content.

They also contain essential fatty acids like omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)*, along with vitamins A and D. The AHA recommends reducing saturated fat, which is found in a higher content in butter and replacing with polyunsaturated fats like those found in Promise® buttery spreads to help maintain a healthy heart. 1

Promise® Buttery spread contains 6g fat and 2g saturated fat per serving.
While Promise® Light spread contains only 5g fat and 1.5g saturated fat per serving.
Butter has 12g of fat and 7g saturated fat per serving.
Serving size is 1 tbsp, 14g.
* Promise® Buttery contains 350mg of ALA per serving, which is 22% of 1.6 daily for ALA.

A Better Option

Promise® buttery spreads are a better option than butter because they are made with a blend of plant-based oils, including soybean oil which is rich in omega-3 ALA*, and contain less than half the saturated fat than butter and no cholesterol.

Saturated and trans fats are the main dietary factors in raising blood cholesterol, a risk factor for heart disease. The American Heart Association (AHA) Diet and Lifestyle Recommendations suggest intakes of less than 6% of calories as saturated fat. For someone eating 2,000 calories a day, that’s about 13 grams of saturated fat. 1

Saturated and trans fats are the main dietary factors in raising blood cholesterol, a risk factor for heart disease.

Research shows that replacing saturated and trans fat with unsaturated fats can help maintain heart health.2 The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans state that the majority of the fat in the diet should come from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated sources.3

To assist in meeting these guidelines, leading health professional organizations suggest using a buttery spread as a substitute for butter and choosing products that contain 2 grams or less of saturated fat per serving.4 See the chart below to find the saturated fat content of all of our Promise® buttery spread products. All our buttery spread products contain no hydrogenated oils and 0 grams trans fat per serving.

*1 Tbsp (14g) of Promise Buttery contains 350mg of omega-3 ALA, which is 22% of the 1.6g daily value, while Promise Light contains 270mg of omega-3 ALA, which is 16% of the 1.6g daily value.
