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 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) 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 weenie

microorganisms will not find a home to grow. Why? Because it is

nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on

your toast?
