Pass the butter, please !

Not sure if this is true but when i goggled the difference between butter and margarine, most of the sites have the same info as this.... Read on and if any of you can help verify this it would certainly help a whole of us who loves to eat margarine....

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.

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.

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 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?
