Butter or Margarine - Choose

Having Worked at Unilevers Premier Margarine Factory in the UK for 1 Year,  as a Management Trainee, and then in Sri Lanka Managing Margarine  Manufacture, I can safely admit that what you are about to read is true !! 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  beingPLASTIC... 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 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')!  Sent by Arun Shroff.
