Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 The difference between butter and margarine....You say you like eating plastic Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys; when it killed the turkeys the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings. DO YOU KNOW...the difference between margarine and butter? 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 same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study. Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods. Butter has many nutritional benefits where 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 where margarine has been around for less than 100 years. And now, for Margarine... Very high in trans fatty acids. Triple risk of coronary heart disease. Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) Lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) Increases the risk of cancers by up to five fold. Lowers quality of breast milk. Decreases immune response. Decreases insulin response. And here is the most disturbing f act.... Margarine is ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance). You can try this yourself: Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or 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 weenie microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 According to my mother, it was originally illegal to color margarine yellow so it was sold in its natural grey color with a packet of food dye. When she was a little girl, my mother would have the chore of kneading the dye into the five pound blob of margarine bought for the family.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 This is true - I remember my mother and grandmother talking about kneading the dye in.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 More odd food trivia. Kool-Aid used to be called KoolAde. " Ade " comes from a greek word that means " drink made of. " This was used to determine that " KoolAde " was illegally named so it was changed to have an " Aid " at the end. -Dave _____ Dave Saunders, NC, DNEH Certified Nutritional Educator and Wellness Coach, ANA Member of the American International Association of Nutritional Education (AIANE) _____ On Behalf Of Carol Ann Rowland Wednesday, November 29, 2006 9:23 AM RE: The difference between butter and margarine....You say you like eating plastic?
