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 ! increase s 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 ONE 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, open it 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?
Follow Ups:
No mention of dead turkeys or any of the mentioned negative side effects, except that there appears to be a lot of trans fats present. See below for the encyclopedia entry on the stuff:
There is a possibility that the dead turkey thing might have been added through all the e-mails that this message came with.
How far is that relevant?... Is the consideration that consumers are expected to be persuaded to eat an obviously artificial product that tastes ghastly not the main issue?...If a product tastes good, then there may be some excuse for ignoring any possibly negative health considerations, but when the product is ghastly one has to wonder about the gullibility of consumers of such product...
Ruth will only accept one of two of the many alternatives of packed butter, so for our household "marge" has Noooo chance!...
I agree with that the stuff is as nasty as can be, just that the turkey story was incorrect. Although I don't doubt that one could fix a turkey infestation easily with margarine.
BLUEBOTTLE: Oooh, it's Moriarty! You've gone bald. What is that lump on your nut?
MORIARTY: That is the difference between margarine.This show was produced to celebrate the BBC's 50th anniversary and was broadcast live on radio on 5 October 1972. It was subsequently released on VHS...
Some other notable bits of dialogue:
TIMOTHY: Ladies and gentlemen, we have had a large number of telegrams wishing us, believe it or not, good luck...and heaven only knows we need it. There is only time to recall one of them, and may I read it to you. It is addressed, of course, to the Goons and the message is as follows . . . 'One of your most devoted fans is enraged at the knowledge he is missing your last performance. Last night my hair fell out and my knees dropped off having turned green with envy at the thought of my father and sister attending the show. One day, perhaps, you will find time to give a performance to a shipful of Seagoons. My very best wishes, as always, signed ... (Prince) Charles'.
FX: Nuts, bolts, hitting the floor.
SECOMBE: What was that?

MILLIGAN: It's time for your perversion, sir.
BLOODNOK: My perversion? Good! Good, let's start now...

What kind of pseudo-informed crap is that?Looks like a job for Snopes.com
There are many, many different "plastic molecules"... the fatty acyl groups of real butter aren't too far off from plastic, either.
No idea what the original author was on about.
100% and I'm old enough to remember "kneading" the margerine to spread the color. '40's - nuff said! Haven't eaten any in years. REAL stuff - eggs, bacon, you name it - is best - in moderation, of course

and when eating at any cafe on our travels we establish that butter, rather than margarine, is used before we order any "eats" that might include it...
Absotively!
