 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 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 betweenmargarine 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 manyother
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 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 withPAINT
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).
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
tupperware and
spread that on your toast?
Share
This With Your Friends ... (If you want to
'butter them up' for better health)!
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.
Now, Pass the BUTTER P-L-E-A-S-E-!
