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!
1. Both have the same amount of calories.
2. Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5
grams.
3. Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over
eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical
Study.
4. Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in
other foods.
5. Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only
because they are added!
6. Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the
flavors of other foods.
7. Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around
for less than 100 years.
Now for Margarine
1. Very high in Trans fatty acids.
2. Triple risk of coronary heart disease.
3. Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol)
and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
4. Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.
5. Lowers quality of breast milk.
6. Decreases immune response.
7. Decreases insulin response.
8. 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?
