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 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, (thegood cholesterol) ..
Increases the risk of cancers by
up to five fold. Lowers quality of
breast milk... Decreases immune response...
Decreases insulin response. And here are
the most disturbing facts....
HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away
from being PLASTIC.......And margarine is
initally BLACK, but it is DYED YELLOW
to look like butter. 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 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 find
a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly
plastic.
Would you melt your Tupperware and spread
that on your toast?
