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

[Guest guest]

This is interesting .. . . . .

 

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?

 

Read on to the end...gets very

interesting!

 

Both have the same amount of calories.

 

Butter is slightly higher in saturated

fats at8 grams compared to5 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) and lowers HDL

cholesterol, (the good

cholesterol)

 

Increases the risk of cancers up to five

fold.

 

Lowers quality of breast milk.

 

Decreases immune response.

 

Decreases insulin response.

 

And here's the most disturbing fact....

HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!

 

Margarine is but 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 weeny 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?
