Now I am glad I use butter:
Here is an article on the value of Butter over
Margarine. Someone shared this with me and I thought
others might enjoy it. I, for one, use butter over
margarine anyway.
DID YOU KNOW...
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 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 then 100 years.
Now for Margarine... Very high in Trans Fatty Acids.
Triple risk of Coronary Heart Disease
Increases total LDL (this is the bad cholesterol).
Lowers HDL cholesterol and this is the good one.
Increases the risk of cancers by up to five fold.
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here is the most disturbing fact.... Margarine is
but ONE MOLECULE from being PLASTIC...!!!! (This fact
alone should be enough reason to avoid margarine for
life and anything else that is hydrogenated. This
means hydrogen is added changing the molecular
structure of the food)
YOU can try this yourself. Purchase a tub of margarine
and leave it in your garage or a 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, 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?
