When itkilled the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into theresearch wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figureout what to do with this product to get their money back. It was awhite substance with no food appealso they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use inplace of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with someclever 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 at 8 grams comparedto 5 grams.Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% overeating the same amount of butter, according to a recent HarvardMedical Study.Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a fewonly because they are added!Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance theflavors of other foods.Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been aroundfor 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) andlowers HDL cholesterol, (thegood 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 ISVERY INTERESTING!Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC..This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for lifeand 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 shadedarea. Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (thatshould tell you something)* it does not rot or smell differently because it has nonutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weenymicroorganisms will not a find a home togrow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt yourTupperware and spread that on your toast?</blockquote>
