BUTTER vs. Margarine

  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 coloring and sold it to people  to use in place of butter.  How do you like it?    They have come out  with some clever new  flavorings..    
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  at8   grams; compared    to 5  grams for margarine.
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 wheremargarine has  a few  and    
only  because  they are  added! 
Butter  tastes  much better than  margarine and it can enhance the flavors of   other foods.

And   here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE  PART THAT  IS  VERY  INTERESTING! 
Margarine  is  but ONE  MOLECULE away   from beingPLASTIC...  and shares 27 ingredients withPAINT  
These  facts alone were 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 open in your  garage or shaded  area.  Within a couple of  days you will notice 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?   

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