Pass the Butter Please
Pass the Butter Please
This is interesting and important to know . . . .
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 so many 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 coronar y heart disease .
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholester ol, (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 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 gr ow. 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')!

I am not sure whether this is true or not, but I would like to believe it because I LOVE butter and have not eaten margarine in decades
How's Norma?
Supposedly this is a true story. The only reason I am not so sure is that hospitals are not suppose to release info to someone not on a list, family member etc.
It makes no never mind to me though because I think we all can relate to this is one way or another!
A sweet grandmother telephoned Parkview Hospital. She
timidly asked, 'Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?'
The operator said 'I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name
and room number?' The grandmother in her weak tremulous voice said,
'Norma Findlay, Room 302.' The operator replied, 'Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse.'
After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone and said,
'Oh, I have good news, her nurse just told me that Norma is doing
very well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came
back as normal and her physician, Dr.Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged on Tuesday.'
The grandmother said, 'Thank you . That's wonderful! I was so
worried! God bless you for the good news.' The operator replied,
'You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?'
The grandmother said, 'No, I'm Norma Findlay in 302. No one tells me sh-t.'
