Butter or Margarine?

 

 

--- DO YOU KNOW...the difference between margarine and butter?

 

Read on to the end...gets very interesting!

 

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 flavours

 

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 are the most disturbing facts....

 

HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!

 

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC.......And

 

margarine is initially BLACK, but it is DYED YELLOW to look like butter.

 

These facts alone were 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 weeny

 

micro organisms will not find a home to grow.

 

Why? Because it is nearly plastic.

 

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