Soul Food Butter or margarine

 

 

 

 

*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!

 

 

 

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 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. Triple 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 fold. 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 ... 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 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?
