Margarine -VS- Butter

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys, when
it killed the turkeys, 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)
Lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers by up to five fold
Lowers quality of breast milk
Decreases immune response
Decreases insulin response

And here is the most disturbing fact ... HERE IS THE PART THAT
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?
