Interesting Fact
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!

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 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?
