Pass The Butter

Pass The Butter

This is interesting thoughts shared with me a friend who is a nurse. look it up if you are inverested. I personally do not use magarine and now I'm glad I don't. I don't use a lot of butter as I prefer olive oil. But this could be an inveresting discussion:

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 They have come out with some clever new flavourings..

Did You know:

The difference between margarine and butter?

Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; Margarine has 5 grams.

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. 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 .

Margarine is very high in Trans fatty... Triple risk of coronary heart disease . Increases
total cholesterol and LDL(unhealthy cholesterol) & lowers HDL cholesterol, (the healthy cholesterol) Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.

Lowers quality of breast milk...
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.

Margarine is but 1 molecule from being plastic 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 in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will note 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?
