Hey Ladies... I found this butter spread called OLIVIO and I'm wondering if it's good for the SBD?

It looks like it's butter flavored spread made with olive oil?
I saw that Butter is frowned upon in SBD - Was wondering if this would be better?

Ingredients:
Vegetable Oil Blend (Liquid Canola Oil, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Extra Light Olive Oil)
Whey (from Milk)
Salt
Vegetable ZMono and diglycerides,
Soy Lechtin
Potassium Sorbate (used to protect quality)
Citric Acid, Vitamin A (Palmitate)
Beta Carotene (for color)
Natural and Artificial Flavors

Looks OK to me aside from the partially hydrogenated oil. That rings a warning with me. Smart Balance is made OK because it contains no hydrogenated oil. We need to avoid the fatty acids that are created by the process of hydrogenation.

Smart Balance is better? That will make my DH happy - That's what we normally have in the house... I thought the olive oil would have made it healthier?

Thanks for the feedback....

Smart Balance has one made with flax seed oil, which makes it higher in omega 3 fatty acids.

"Smart Balance® Light Buttery Spread with Flax Oil
Provides 300 mg of Omega-3 per serving to achieve an ideal 4 to 1 ratio
of Omega-6 to Omega 3. Non hydrogenated. No trans fatty acids. Patented balance of natural oils to help improve the good to bad cholesterol ratio."


It tastes pretty good, it's what I use all the time.
