Pass The Butter...... Please.

This is interesting. It's been around before, but maybe you didn't read it. You should!
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. It killed turkeys so let's sell it off to humans!
Do you wonder why they can't figure out why people contract diseases and ailments that were never before a problem. Peanut allergies, milk allergies, allergy allergies????
How do you like margarine?

DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end... it 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, forMargarine..
Very High in Trans fatty acids.
Triples the 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.... 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 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')!

Chinese Proverb: When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.

BUTTER PLEASE.

I don't use margarine (mom used to call it Oleo), it's butter only in this house. And olive oil.


ETA: And I can't remember the exact numbers, but my cholesterol levels are excellent.




Lucylastic -> RE: Pass The Butter...... Please. (3/21/2011 12:30:18 PM)

I refuse to use margerine, nothing beats the taste of butter
EOS for me anyway

Sounds like another example of Toxic Sludge is Good for You
Lies, Damn Lies and the Public Relations Industry

Publisher's Weekly describes Toxic Sludge Is Good For You as "a chilling analysis of the PR business...a cautionary reminder that much of the consumer and political world is created by for-hire mouthpieces in expensive neckties."




Termyn8or -> RE: Pass The Butter...... Please. (3/21/2011 12:42:06 PM)

I refuse to eat anything hydrogenated, thus the axe falls on a few other things like shortening and most processed "foods".

T^T




Marc2b -> RE: Pass The Butter...... Please. (3/21/2011 12:48:47 PM)

Margarine tastes like shit. I always use butter.

That said, there are some fallacies in your statements about margarine (including the turkey fattener myth) which are addressed by SNOPES.

I agree...cant talk about micro organisms but I know that my cats love to lick out the margarine tub when it it is empty or when it is time to get a new one.

But like others I also prefer butter, taste wise.

And regarding fallacies...I only thought to forward it as I got it as email today and thought to toss this in over here [:)]




MercTech -> RE: Pass The Butter...... Please. (3/21/2011 2:52:46 PM)

The original margarine was colored and flavored lard.
Then it was discovered you can hydrogenate corn oil and cotton seed oil and make a butter consistency grease (Crisco) and if you color and flavor it, you can pass it off for butter on the cheap. Yep, the origin of trans-fats.
Margarine orgiginated as a cheap butter substitute during the great depression.

Also, did you know that cream is lower in calories and fat than "creamer" which is usually made from "milk solids" mixed with congealed cottonsead oil?

Termyn8or -> RE: Pass The Butter...... Please. (3/21/2011 3:49:37 PM)

You mean powdered coffee creamer ? Wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

It's amazing that peolple bitch about health when what half of what some of them eat is not food. All the things I don't eat, the list of which didn't completely come from "reputable" sources, may have something to do with the fact that now that I do go to doctors they have nothing to say about cholesterol or anything of the sort. Even having smoked and smoked for 35 years, they're not mentioning anything about my lungs. They said if I eat right, drink in moderation etc., that I could live another 50 years.

Doing the math that would then make me 100, so I promptly bought some cigarettes.

SorceressJ -> RE: Pass The Butter...... Please. (3/22/2011 4:24:32 AM)

I prefer as many food products with ingredients I can pronounce as possible. Real Butter it is, kthnxbi. [:)]




MercTech -> RE: Pass The Butter...... Please. (3/24/2011 12:13:38 PM)

To add a little perspective..

The USDA, United States Department of \Agriculture, was created by the Agriculture Act of 1934.  So many of the regulations are based on state of the art science in 1934 and don't seem to make sense to modern science.  But, every time there is a bill proposed to modernize the act, there is a huge lobby uproar about changing the food laws.  Now, things that don't make sense...

Every chicken sold for human consumption has to be visually examined after evisceration and sniffed by a USDA certified veterinarian.  But, there is no federal requirement for bacterial testing.  (Processors do bacteriological testing because they don't want to be sued, not because the food safety laws require it.)

To be fit for human consumption, a chicken must be whole and complete with no deformations or injuries.  How many times do you buy a whole chicken these days?  If the law were modified so that the good parts of a bird that had a leg broken in transport could be used for human consumption rather than be relegated to pet food would lower the cost significantly.

And there is little or no regulation to "food supplements".  If I'm buying a "food supplement" I tend to look for German companies as there are laws regulating potency and admixture chemicals in that country.

.. climbing on soapbox...
Herbs are drugs!
The origin of the modern pharmacopia is to remove the effective ingredients from herbs and not have to eat the rest of the herb with the side effects caused.  (take an aspirin instead of chewing willow bark... try it, I dare you... chew the willow bark and have three days of the runs after getting rid of your headache)
I'm of the opinion that herbal food supplements should be regulated for purity and concentration of active ingredients and labeled with possible side effects.
... getting off soapbox

to quit digressing.. the only use I can think of for margarine is for cooking when you don't have access to refrigeration.  i.e. primitive camping.  The margarine doesn't go bad as fast as butter.

That's why you make a tea of the bark and drink it (without the bark)!




FukinTroll -> RE: Pass The Butter...... Please. (3/24/2011 1:44:45 PM)

The melting point of butter is between 90°F and 95°F (32°C and 35°C). The melting point of margarine appears to be a hair warmer, at 94°F to 98°F (34°C to 37°C). But margarines can be formulated to have melting points ranging from 91°F to 109°F (33°C to 43°C). Many of the higher-melting-point margarines are manufactured for the baking industry. The presence of salt lowers the melting point of both butter and margarine.

Now I don't know about you, but I am not that interested in sticking something that has a higher melting point (in some types of margarine) than the internal furnace inside me.

YMMV
Slurp~

So which is thermoplast and which is thermoset ? LOL

All I care is that the fucking shit does not come anywhere near me.

salted Butter


[:'(][:'(][:'(]

Had to get used to it to check that properly when I moved over here as I didnt stumble over salted butter back home.

First time I had salted butter in Peru aged 16, there it was nice as a difference, but I don't wanna have it in my home [>:]

If you are going to spread something, spread the truth.
