[Desi Masala] PASS THE BUTTER, PLEASE

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 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: & lt; BR>
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 u p')!

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.
