This is an interesting Urban Legend. . . . .

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 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?

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 !
