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 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 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 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?
