Ärende: margarine is trash
==========================
Hello everybody.

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 to5 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 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.
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 with PAINT

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:

* 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 value ; nothing will
grow on it. Even those teeny weeny micro-organisms 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.

Pass the BUTTER PLEASE! And if there is Margarine in your refrigerator, throw
it in the trash right now.
