Pass The 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 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. It 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, 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 spread that on your toast?

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