Hello, It really depends on what you mean as far as healthy goes...less fat, less preservatives, etc. I look for total fat content. Sure it's a good idea to use mono sat fat/"good fat" instead of sat. fat or trans. fat, but you shouldn't over do the good fats either. I read a news article that said that one of the reasons trans fats are no good is because they do the same damage as sat. fats. PB is a good idea, but you might want to read the label for trans fats, sugar, sodium, and sat. fats, which some companies add to the PB. (Natural PB is the way to go, but don't forget it's like eating concentrated peanuts...You may be getting 2 servings of peanuts instead of 1 serving, but you have nothing to worry about if you don't have any health problems.) The best thing to do is read the label, because butter, butter spreads, margarines, jelly, and anything else you spread on bread can have "evil" stuff hidden inside. Some companies will be removing the trans fats from their spreads or already contain no trans fats. "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" has trans fats, but the company said it will be removing them very soon. "Brommel N' Brown" never had any trans fats, because it is made from yogurt. There are also vegetable sprays that are nothing more than 100% olive oil, but again you have to read the label. Unsweetened apple sauce can be substituted for butter or shortening in recipes.
