Whether to eat Margarine or to stick with the
butter, I have always been perplexed with the thoughts. While the butter is
great tasting and bit more fattening.

It appeared that the Margarine which seemed like a
wonder product and which promised  the same taste of the butter and will help me
remain slim and trim. Seems like a free lunch to me… Well as we no that there
is nothing like a free lunch, we all pay for it one way or the other.

Margarine has its own story, read on and make your
own decisions….

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?

• 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 intrans 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 n 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 a plastic tub and spread that on your toast?
