Fake butter ingestion

Question
Hi.

I know someone who likes to take big swigs out of a bottle of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and I was  wondering what type of consequences he could possibly expect?   He just takes the bottle and drinks straight from it.
Thanks!

Answer
Hello Melanie!

   Thank you for your nutrition question.  Eating big portions of artificial butter can have several health affects such as increasing his bad cholesterol. When cholesterol attaches to your artery walls it makes it harder for your heart to pump blood through which can result in heart disease.  It also brings down our HDL-good cholesterol which we need to help keep the bad cholesterol down.  Hope this helps.
