What's bad about I can't believe it's not butter is due to the ingredients and methods of processing of I can't believe it's not butter.

I can't believe it's not butter is made with oils which have undergone a process that is called hydrogenation which mimics the consistency of butter.

The hydrogenation process of I can't believe it's not butter can create unhealthy additives and unhealthy fats.

Also many versions of I can't believe it's not butter contain saturated fats and salt, and the spray versions of I can't believe it's not butter are often also misleading as being labeled with zero calories.

The hydrogenation process of I can't believe it's not butter changes the oils structure and creates trans fat.

The trans fat in I believe it's not butter has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and other health effects.

And even though some versions of I can't believe it's not butter have reduced trans fats, they still contain saturated fats as well as salt which can be unhealthy, especially when consumed in excess.

I can't believe it's not butter also contains additives like xanthan gum and lecithin and these ingredients may not be as beneficial for your overall health as the naturally occurring fats in real butter.

Healthier butter alternatives are ghee, extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil, which offers unique health and nutritional benefits.

Although even these healthier butter alternatives should still be consumed in moderation as they are still high in fat content.
