So here is my ´proper´ post!

 

Email I received - original source unknown, sorry. 


 

Pass The Butter. Please.   

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 to5 grams for margarine. 

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 nutrientsin other foods. 

Butter
 has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and   
only because they are added! 


Butter
 tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavours 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 (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) 

Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..
 

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...and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT 

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 open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice 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 micro organisms 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?  

Share This With Your Friends..... (If you want to butter them up´! 


Chinese Proverb:  When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it,  you have a  moral obligation to share it with  others
 

Pass the BUTTER PLEASE
