Is it true that I CAN,T BELIEVE IT,S NOT BUTTER is one ingredient away from plastic.?

Answer 1

Butter vs Margarine

DID YOU KNOW...

Butter v. Margarine

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 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 then 100 years.

Now for Margarine...
Very high in Trans Fatty Acids.

Triple risk of Coronary Heart Disease.

Increases total and LDL cholesterol (this is the bad cholesterol). Lowers HDL cholesterol and this is the good one.

Increases the risk of cancers by up to five fold.

Lowers quality of breast milk.

Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.

And here is the most disturbing fact....

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE 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 food )

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 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?

Answer 2

Um, I think you're right. Someone who worked in a factory told me that margarine is plastic. It's what's used to kill turkeys instead of shooting them. The margarine is fed to the turkeys and gets caught in their throats. Basically they're choaked to death.
The person doesn't eat margarine anymore because of this, so I suppose it's true. By the way look at plastic, doesn't it seem on the oily side to you.

Answer 3

I have heard the same thing, and when I mentioned this to my wife last year she researched and will now only use real butter. How ever margarine was developed as an inexpensive substitute for butter and has held that position for 50+ years. One molecule away from plastic? So? lead is one ATOM away from gold, they each have their uses, we don't shun lead.

Answer 4

All margarine products are one molecule different than plastic. You can leave an opened container of any kind of margarine in your garage for a month and it won't attract bugs and it won't disinigrate or break down.

Answer 5

I read somewhere that you can put a teaspoon of margarine on your window seal and a year later it will still be there.

Pretty scarey, don't you think!

I will only use the real stuff.... butter!

Answer 6

I've never looked on the container at the ingredients, but to me if they are trying to duplicate something without using natural ingredients, it probably is laced with chemicals you can't pronounce....

Answer 7

Probably. Most processed foods are terribly bad for you. I only eat butter or olive oil for that very reason> I buy my butter from a farm. I know what's in it.

Of course, that being said, one molecule can make a total structural difference. We share 99% of our DNA with chimps or something wild like that. So one degree of seperation in the chemical world can make for huge variations... In this case I don't know.

Answer 8

Close. Margerine IS a type of plastic.

Answer 9

i've heard margarine is very close to plastic.but not butter.heard that it's better to eat butter than margarine...much healthier

Answer 10

I have heard the same thing.

It is one molecule away from plastic.
