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.       And     here's the most dist! urbing 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....
