Default the food value of margarine...

The difference between margarine and butter?

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.

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) ...

Lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) ....

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 away from being PLASTIC...

This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and
anything else that is hydrogenated...

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?
