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. !!!Diabetics Note
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
