Pass The Butter ... Please.
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 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?
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 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
where margarine has a few and 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 in Trans fatty acids.
Triples 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 times..
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... 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).
Open 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:
*&n bsp; 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 find it to be a home where they can 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.
Pass the BUTTER

For all those single kid moms out there, you
might think its hard to shop with your kid in tote...its not...once you have
shopped with 3, shopping with one is a walk in the park. Shopping alone is now
a vacation, I look forward to it, I stroll through, taking my time and enjoying
the time off, yeah I am going to squeeze every loaf of bread instead of
grabbing the closest one, I might price compare, and usually end up getting
everything on the list, instead of bailing half way through because you think
you might actually throw your own temper tantrum right there in the cereal
isle...Shopping with 1 kid is enjoyable, you can treat them if they behave, and
you can still contain them when they miss behave, while getting your groceries.
2 kids start presenting a issue, if one misbehaves you can still handle it, if
both start misbehaving people start staring, but the fearless (ultimately
frustrated) mother you are, you press on, with a "this too shall
pass" chant. Now for shopping with 3, your completely out numbered, and
they have started a pack mentality, most shopping carts have one seat, some 2,
at least one is running around like the feral child they are. You grab the
basics, not looking at nutritional value, just bang for your buck, and hope
that when you're home you can slop together an acceptable meal. A daycare in
your local grocery store...just a thought!
