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 flavourings....

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
flavours of other foods.

Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been
around for less than100 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).

Open 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 nonutritional
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
