Isn't this interesting????

Greetings!

I have always said, butter is better for you than margarine.  In fact I maintain that if it could be produced during biblical times it has got to be better for you than those things that are produced today.

I got this in an email a few days ago and thought I would share it with you.  Sort of makes you think and wonder, just what is going into our food today???

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
colouring 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 to 5
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 nutrients in  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 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 (this is the bad cholesterol) and
lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol).

Increases  the risk of cancer 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 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?

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 


If only half of what is printed here is true, I will stick with my butter thank you, LOL

Until next time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Blessings!
