Pass The Butter . . . Please!
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 flavours 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?
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!
