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?


Both have the same number 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
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.

Triples 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 times..

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... and
shares 27 ingredients with PAINT

These facts alone were 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 open in your garage or
shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice 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 weensy
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?

Well, that one at least, is true for many people.

There are many type of margarine on the market. Many are lower in trans
fats than butter (yes, butter has trans fats).

Again, depends on the margarine for the three items above.

Who wants breast milk that tastes like margarine?

Hydrogenation makes liquid vegetable oil become solid, like naturally
occurring solid fats, and with their disadvantages. A diet high in
saturated fats, whether natural or not, is not recommended.

Yes, Snopes debunked it long ago.

A quotation for reference only...go to Scopes.com to read the full
article.

A quote: "Contrary to the claim, margarine was not invented as a
turkey fattener. It was formulated in 1869 by Hippolyte Mège Mouriès
of France in response to Napoleon III's offering of a prize to whoever
could succeed at producing a viable low-cost substitute for butter.
Mège Mouriès' concoction, which he dubbed oleomargarine, was achieved
by adding salty water, milk, and margaric acid to softened beef fat.
By the turn of the century, the beef fat in the original recipe had
been replaced by vegetable oils."

Butter is made from whole milk. Margarine is vegetable oil.

Any more silly questions?

Butter and Margarine are mutually exclusive terms.

OTOH:

Margarine and Axle Grease?

Have you ever seen "Kate and Leopold"? There's a wonderful scene in
which an 1870s English baron is confronted with a particularly poor
grade of margarine.
