Butter or Margerine
I got yet another interesting e-mail from my mother today. How much of this is true?? 
DO YOU KNOW...
The difference between margarine and butter?
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. 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)
Lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) .... Increases
the risk of cancers by up to five fold...
Lowers quality of breast milk ... Decreases immune response...
Decreases insulin response. And here is 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?
