Answer 2

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 todo 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 flavourings.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 ma rgarine 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 flavours of other foods. Butte r has been around for centuries when margarine has been around for less than 1 00 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 diff erently because it has no nutritional
value; nothing will grow on it Even those teeny weenie 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")!

Answer 5

Butter. I am as careful as I can be about my diet. I had a bad problem with acid indigestion for years and the margarine products ended up being the biggest factor. I do not overdue it, but natural butter is actually a lot better for you than all the chemicals in margarine and margarine product. Another alternative which works well is the Land o Lakes light butter with Canola Oil. There is nothing like fresh corn and real butter...YUM-O
