Butter versus Margarine



Pass the butter ~ ~ ~ ~ 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 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!
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.
And 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) and >lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.
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 ONly 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?

When I was younger, I was the mechanic in charge of a fleet of tankers with united creameries at a creamery in south west scotland.The purpose of this depot was to collect the whey from other creameries after they had made the butter and cheese.The farmers had the first option on the whey for pig food and the balance was collected by us. at the height of the season we would collect as much as 30,000 gallons a day which was then condensed and stored in wooden barrels. these were then transported to a factory near crewe. When processed many uses were made of this including :extracting sugar,making penicillin,the famous sweet bar that helps you work,rest and play and other things that i cannot remember. So to say that milk is good for you is a bit of an understatement

Interesting stuff
I used to deliver eggs to shops and restaurants , as you can imagine there was some breakages , but these were all saved in plastic containers in the cold room store , maggots flies and all! these were collected monthly and sterilized to make cake mix!... to check if your eggs are fresh when broken into a pan or bowl the higher the yoke the fresher! a perfect hemisphere of the yoke equals Fresh a egg !
is this eggciting!
