DO YOU KNOW...
The difference between margarine and butter?
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.
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)
Lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) ....
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....
.....THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC
....This fact alone was enough to have me think about
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?
