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 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 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 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? Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to "butter them up")! Ross ©º°¨¨°º©

They have come out with some clever new flavorings I realize that you just cut and pasted something you recieved in email or found on another website, but this is false. Margarine was invented because Napoleon offered a prize to whoever could come up with a viable butter substitute. It wasn't invented as a means to fatten turkey. I'm not sure which is worse, your normal spew of blisteringly stupid questions or your pasting other people's equally stupid things. ~stef

For this, we were "Awaiting Approval"? [:D]

I guess they didn't want the secret about margarine out windchymes[8D] but I don't eat that shit anyhow..don't even care for butter much honestly.

FukinTroll -> RE: Pass the butter ~ ~ ~ ~ This is interesting. (2/23/2007 12:29:47 PM)
Interesting. Fact or no... I set a stick of margarine in a 110 degrees it is still a stick after hours and hours. That always gave me pause.

So does living and breathing Lowers quality of breast milk. I breast fed and my babies were FAT Decreases immune response. Nope, got great immunity Decreases insulin response. Nope, still not diabetic And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING! Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC.. EVERY substance is one molecule away from being something else! That's how organic chemistry works! 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). Well, you better avoid water...every molecule of it has TWO hydrogen molecules! If you take away the "H2", you are left with a glass full of pure oxygen. Don't light a match. 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) Which tells me it's not shit or fruit. 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. No, because it is not a viable medium for opportune growth of bacteria and/or mold spores. Take it into your warm kitchen and leave it open on the counter for a few days and see what happens. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast? Of course not. Gladware is a lot cheaper, and doesn't have harmful color dyes in it. Well, maybe just the lids do.

Well, I don't know about the OP's facts but we never used margarine in my family due, no doubt, to my grandmother's firm belief that margarine was part of the communist conspiricy to undermine America.

I detest the flavor/texture/smell of margarine. OOV or unsalted farm fresh butter for me! Has anyone ever used a butter bell? I'm wondering if they really do work & how hard they are to clean... they're kinda neat.

Because of the trans fats in margarine we only eat Smart Balance now.

Bottom line....Butter tastes better, that's enough for me.
