Margarine and Butter

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 yellowcoloring 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 theflavors 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 a find a home to grow.  Why?   Because it  is nearly plastic   .  Would you melt your Tupperware and  spreadthat  on your toast?   

Share  This With Your Friends.....(If you want to 'butter them   up')! 

Chinese Proverb: 

'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it,  you have a  moral obligation to share it with  others.   

Pass the BUTTER PLEASE..
