This is interesting…
Margarine was originally manufactured
to fatten turkeys. When
it started killing 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

Read on to the end... it gets very
interesting!
·
Both have
the same amount of calories.
·
Butter is
slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 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 flavors of other
foods.
·
Butter has
been around for centuries where margarine has been around for
less than 100 years.
·
Very high in
Trans fatty acids.
·
Triple 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 fold.
·
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!
This fact alone was 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 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 find a home to grow.
Why? Because it is nearly
plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your
toast?
