Smart Balance believes that there is simply no reason for your lifestyle to be compromised by harmful saturated and hydrogenated fats – it’s just too easy to replace them with smarter, heart-healthy options.

Smart Balance has been marketing low fat and fat free spreads and other foods for more than 24 years. Smart Balance was created to bring you the benefits of a remarkable scientific finding. At Brandeis University, scientists recently proved that the perfect blend of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fats can improve cholesterol through dietary means.

Smart Balance took this data to top nutritionists, health professionals and research scientists and asked them to "poke holes" in it before bringing our patented fat balance to the public; no one could improve on Brandeis’ groundbreaking formula. Since then, Smart Balance Buttery Spread has won three consecutive Best Taste Awards from the American Culinary Institute, and the hearts of health-conscious customers nationwide.
