Pass the Butter Please!!

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 colouring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.

How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new

flavourings....

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 for margarine.

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 and

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.

Triples 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 times..

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... and shares

27 ingredients withPAINT

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 open in your garage or

shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice 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

nonutritional 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?

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.
