Becel
Low in saturated fat
When thinking about your health, it’s important to watch your intake of fat, especially saturated fat. According to a report by the National Academy of Sciences, you can reduce the amount of saturated fat you eat by minimizing the amount of butter added to foods, or by replacing butter with a soft, non-hydrogenated margarine or vegetable oil like sunflower or safflower oil.* Becel margarine is low in saturated fat.
No trans fat and non-hydrogenated
Hydrogenation is a process used to change liquid oil into a solid or partially solid fat. In doing so, trans fat is created. Trans fat is found in deep-fried foods, as well as processed foods like crackers, cookies, chips and pies, which are commonly made with partially hydrogenated oil or shortening. Small amounts of trans fat are also found naturally in milk, butter and meat.
Take a look at the Nutrition Facts label on food packages to find the exact trans fat content of a food – the lower, the better. Choosing foods that are labeled "non-hydrogenated" is another smart way to keep your trans fat intake as low as possible. Becel is a soft, tub margarine that is non-hydrogenated. It contains no trans fat.
Source of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fat
Some types of fat are important for health. Omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fat are factors in the maintenance of good health. Because our bodies cannot produce omega-3 or omega-6 fat, we need to get these important nutrients from food. Becel is a source of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fat.
