Butter versus Oleo and Margarine?

Pass The Butter Please.

THIS IS INTERESTING …….

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had funded all the research wanted to be paid back 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…it gets very interesting!

Both have the same number 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 whereas 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 only ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC..

This fact alone is enough for me to avoid margarine for the rest of my 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 a 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 weensy microorganisms will not a find a home to grow in. Why? Because it is one molecule away from being plastic, remember? 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.

So be kind and share this with everyone you
Harley Lady, yes I use Smart Butter due to my husband’s heart condition
Wally, so I’ve heard. I am a meat eater though. Sorry

Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

Margarine is sucks and dangerous compare with butter?

Hi all,

I received the following forward email from friends and I really wish to know whether the facts stated are true. It’s bit long but I will try to get rid of things which are unnecessary:

“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?

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.

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC..

This fact alone was enough to suggest one to avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).

To 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:

Please answer based not on own perspectives but with science knowledge (kinda) cause it sounds weird for me too, but without science prove, I can’t conclude it as fake or true.

Hope someone can help to clarify it if it’s telling the true or someone started just to take down margarine sales (reason unknown).
Tq all for your contribution, and i’ve conduct some research by myself for some specific terms that I don’t understand and what I’m confuse now is that:
1) Is Margarine CONFIRMED to have trans fat in it? Since trans fat is vegetable oil that has been treated with hydrogen in order to make it more solid and give it a longer shelf life, it sounds unhealthy.
2) However, it (margarine) contained unsaturated fat, which not only raises HDL (high density lipoprotein) levels, good one, but also lowers LDL (low density lipoprotein) levels, bad one.

So which one is better? Butter or Margarine? Given that butter although doesn’t have trans fat but it contained saturated fat, where a diet high in saturated fats can lead to high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and stroke since it raises one’s LDL levels. (Now I know this part is contradict with what written in the email)

I hope there is a choice in between this two since i like to put them on bread all the time >.< thanks
