PASS THE BUTTER....PLEASE.

This is interesting

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.


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 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 .


Triple risk of coronary heart disease .


Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)


Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.


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.


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 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 micro-organisms 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?


Share This With Your Friends ... (If you want to 'butter them up'!)


Chinese Proverb:


'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.

So..., DO IT!

Thanks Chen, I knew that margarine isn't very healthy, but I didn't know it's that bad.

Just one point is exaggerated: If you treat butter just the same way as margarine it would happen nearly the same - both get rancid and on both won't grow anything because both consist of fat which has a preservant effect...

I am your typical free spirit, who likes to enjoy whatever life has to offer. I have done a few things,and still want to do more. I am simple and likes to be with poeple, no matter what race, color, or age. I am approachable, fun, and loyal to my friends.

I love anything that relates to philosophy, psychology, economics, arts and sciences. Most of the time when I don't have anything to do, I surf the net, watch movies or television, and listen to music.

The philosophy I live by is try and try..keep striving..every achievement that we get is not the end of everything, it is only the start of someting new. Life has so much to offer. Though there are times that things may not go or work the way we want them to be no matter how hard we try, we have to accept the fact that some things will never ever change. I believe that if we need to do something,we have to do it now. Time waits for no one and it does not stop from ticking. It goes on and on and on.....

On my free time, you can find me with my friends chatting and making fun. When I am bored, I go to sleep to fight boredom!!haha!

I think, always think..even though I am alone, I am always thinking. Even the unthinkable and useless things go inside my mind. Maybe that's what I am, a THINKER...hehe

I look forward to putting a smile on your face.(",)
