Butter vs. Margerine
Denny Johnson
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 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) 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 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?
