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 being PLASTIC...
and shares 27 ingredients withPAINT
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 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?
Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to butter them
up')!
Chinese Proverb:
When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit
from it, you have a moral obligation to share it
with others.
Pass the BUTTER PLEASE
