Margarine and Butter

Depois de ler este texto decidi não comer mais margarina!!! I just quit.

Hi

This is an interesting item to know.

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!

1. Both have the same amount of calories.

2. Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at

8 grams compared to 5 grams.

3. Eating margarine can increase heart disease in

women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter,

according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.

4. Eating butter increases the absorption of many

other nutrients in other foods.

5. Butter has many nutritional benefits where

margarine has a few only because they are added!

6. Butter tastes much better than margarine and

it can enhance the flavors of other foods.

7. Butter has been around for centuries where

margarine has been around for less than 100 years.

Now for Margarine

1. Very high in Trans fatty acids.

2. Triple risk of coronary heart disease.

3. Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is

the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the

good cholesterol)

4. Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.

5. Lowers quality of breast milk.

6. Decreases immune response.

7. Decreases insulin response.

8. 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 weenie 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?
