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 for margarine.

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 and only  because  they are added!

Butter
  tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavours 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.

Triples risk of coronary
heart disease .

I've only used margarine when my mother made me, and that was a LONG time ago...

Never did like the taste of that stuff...
