Pass the Butter ... Please!

Pass the Butter ... Please!


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 figured 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.


DO YOU KNOW the difference between margarine and butter?

(Read to the end...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.



Triples risk of coronary heart disease. Increases total cholesterol and LDL (the bad cholesterol and lowers HDL (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!)



Margarine is but one molecule away from being plastic!



This fact alone is enhough reason to avoid margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (which means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).

Try this:

Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it open 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 go near it! (That should tell you something.)


* It doesn't rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value. Nothing grows on it, not even those teeny-weeny microorganisms find a home there to grow on. Why? Because it is nearly plastic. (Would you melt your Tupperware and spread it on your toast?)
