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 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).
Open 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 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?
Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to butter them up')!

1. Only eat Butter.
2. I remember during WW2 what we got was a sealed plastic bag with white stuff inside with a small yellow capsule that you would break then knead until the yellow was evenly distributed throughout for color and flavor. That was our "BUTTER" unless you lived on a farm.

Butter - used to churn our own when we had the dairy. Then kept a jersey and a brown swiss just for the cream off their milk to make butter. Had them for years before work got in the way. Milked them by hand every night and morning. Would sell milk to neighbors after we de-creamed it. Good ole days.

Mmmm. Tupperware spread. I can feel it running through my veins.
Good information! A lot of our sickness can be attributed to our diets and the so called preservatives i.e. chemicals they put in our foods. When I was a kid in Louisiana back in the fourties it was called oleo, that may have went a brand name not sure.

I remember the Oleo Margarine. It was a brand I saw in the store with others.

Thanks Huntm22! My memory must still be good
My grandma bought Land O Lakes butter when I was a kid and I fell in love with the Indian maid on the package, now they have taken her off of the label, just breaks my heart!

Just have to be PC. Can't do anything before some idiot tells you, no no, you can't do that because there is a pigmy tribe is South America that will be offended. Pretty soon your going to have some idiot standing behind you on the bank telling you the correct way to cast, might offend a fish. Just getting too political!
I think everybody that worked in a dairy barn squirted cats!
I have heard this before. However water is one molecule away from being hydrogen peroxide, but everyone still drinks water. So I guess it depends on how things are presented.
My mother would not eat butter. Don't know why,she just didn't like it. I was raised on Blue Bonnet margarine. Since I went in the Army and came home and got married I have never eaten it again. All I use is butter. In fact now my wife won't use any butter that's not made from grass fed cows.
