Someone sent me this before and found it interesting. I got it again today, so have a read...
-----------------------------------------------------------
Pass The Butter .... Please.
This is interesting . ... . scary too!
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 than 100 years.
And now, for Margarine..
Very High in Trans fatty acids.
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?
(Bob & I actually did this experiment by putting it in the garage and
after a week it dried up and felt like plastic)
Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to butter them up')!

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
