Wow - I'm switching to butter, check this out...

[Guest guest]

First, sorry gone for a few days...little guy had diareah and my wash

machine is out :-(

anyway...Butter vs Margarine

This is interesting.. Make mine BUTTER Please!!!

DO YOU KNOW...

The difference between margarine and butter?

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.

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 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?

Mmmmm, that tupperware flavouring. It's also good on popcorn! (Anyone

remember that Far Side cartoon showing a theatre employee emptying a

mop bucket into a container marked something like " buttery popcorn

topping " ??)

I haven't used butter or margarine in ages, I'm completely hooked on

that I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray. I even compared it side

by side to butter once, on crab legs, and found I really did prefer

the spray. And no, I do NOT want to know what's in it! =+)
