Margarine
- GOOD STUFF ??????
!
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 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')! 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 !!!!!
