    Butter or Margarine

    I am never having margarine again.

    BUTTER

    Pass the butter ~ ~ ~ ~ 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 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?

    Friends......(If you want to "butter them up")!

    Woot! Been in agreement with that for ten years. I'd rather use butter in moderation than spread plastic on my food.

    In the same vein, I actually was shocked the other day when I was getting a root canal done when I heard my dentist and her assistant discussing the merits of drinking Soda.

    The assistant was advocating Diet Coke, and the dentist was telling her she should drink Coca-cola Classic because the chemicals (Aspertane and/or Splenda) in the diet drinks are worse for you than the sugar in the regular soft drinks.

    I hate butter.. I loath butter... It is the worst tasting crap on the planet (besides cauliflower)...
    I don't eat much margarine either (maybe a little bit on a vegemite sandwhich).. even then I make sure I buy the brand that in no way resembles the taste of butter.

    BUTTER IS BLECK !!!!!!!
