BUTTER VS MARGARINE...

 

 

Here is some food for thought----- Both have the same amount of

calories. Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams

compared to 5 grams. Eating margarine can increase heart disease in

women by 53% over eating the amount of butter (according to a recent

Harvard Medical Study)

 

Eating butter increase the absorption of many other nutrients in

other foods. Butter has many nutritional benefits, whereas margarine

has a few (only because they are added).

 

Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the

flavors of other foods. Butter has been around for centuries whereas

margarine has been her for less then a 100 years.

 

Now for MARGARINE:

 

Very high in trans fatty acids.

Triple risk of coronary heart disease.

Increases LDL (this is bad cholesterol).

Lowers HDL (and this in the good one).

Increases the risk of cancers by up to five fold.

Lowers quality of breast milk.

Decrease immune response.

Decreases insulin response.

 

And here is the most disturbing fact:

 

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE from being PLASTIC. This fact alone

should be enough to have you avoiding margarine for life - and

anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added

changing the molecular structure of the food)

 

You can try this yourself: purchase a tub of margarine and leave it

in your garage or a shaded area. Within a couple of days you will

note a couple of things - no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies

will go near it, (that should tell you something), it does not rot,

or smell differently because it has no nutritional value, nothing

will grow on it, even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not find

a home to grow on....Why? Because it is nearly plastic.

 

Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
