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 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?
Share This With Your Friends......(If
you want to butter them up')!
