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
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 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.
- 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 with PAINT.
These
facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine
for life and
anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydro-
gen is added,
changing the molecular structure of the substance).
Open
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 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 Tupper-
ware 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.
Pass the BUTTER PLEASE
