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.
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.
And now, for Margarine..
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 a find a home
to grow.
Why? Because it is nearly plastic.
Would you melt
your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
