time you reach for the margarine, Consider these facts........
DO YOU
KNOW...
The difference between margarine and butter?
The facts on
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, which triples the risk of Coronary Heart
Disease.
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol)
Lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol), which increases the risk
of cancers by up to five fold.
Lowers quality of breast milk , which 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 us 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 little 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?
