Margarine VS Butter

Dont know how health breaking this is, but its a reminder...

Margarine -VS- Butter

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys, when
it killed the turkeys, 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) 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 is 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?
