Butter did you know
|
So what is 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 a hundred 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 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 should be enough to convince you to avoid margarine for
life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen
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 find a home to grow.
Why??? Because it is nearly plastic.
Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast? |
