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.


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) Lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good
cholesterol)

Lowers quality of breast milk...

Decreases immune response...

Decreases insulin response.

And here are the most disturbing facts....

HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC.......And
margarine is
initially BLACK, but it is DYED YELLOW to look like butter.

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
find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic.

Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

one molecule away from plastic, is like saying lead is one molecule away from gold!!!

i,d rather eat unsaturated fats, that clog up the old aterys with butter

my missus does

We always used to use anchor spreadable, but one day we ran out, so in the heat of the moment I grabbed the flora and got back to the job in hand.

To cut a long story short, I realised she wasnt happy, and I enqured as to why, as she seemed really upset....
She just shook her head and said " I cant belive its not butter "

Exactly what I was going to say!

They do bacon butties here in the mornings, but they pre-spread margarine on the rolls - the uncivilised savages!
