Pass The Butter please

How to make it
- 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 pay back 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...it gets very interesting!
- 1. Both have the same amount of calories.
- 2.Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.
- 3. Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 55% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study!
- 4. Eating butter increases the absorption of many nutrients in other foods.
- 5. Butter has many nutritional benifits where margarine has only a few only because they are added!
- 6. Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
- 7. Butter has been around for centuries, where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.
- ---And now, for Margarine---
- 1. Very high in trans fatty acids.
- 2. Triple risk of coronary heart disease.
- 3. Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL (the good cholesterol).
- 4. Increase the risk of cancers up to 5 fold.
- 5. Lowers the quality of breast milk.
- 6. Decreases immune response.
- 7. Decreases insulin response.
- 8. 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 days you will note a couple things:
- 1. No flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
- 2. 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 find a home to grow.
- 3. When it is melted, and you put the lid back on, and put it in the refrigerator, after it has hardened; poke a hole in it and watch all the water that comes out of it.
- 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 Proverbs---
- When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.
