Difference between margarine and butter

DO YOU KNOW...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 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... Triple risk of coronary heart disease.
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) Lowers
HDL cholesterol, (thegood cholesterol) .. Increases the risk of cancers
by up to five fold. Lowers quality of breast milk... Decreases immune
response... Decreases insulin response. And here are the most disturbing
facts....

HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC.......And
margarine is initally BLACK, but it is DYED YELLOW to look like butter.
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 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 find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly
plastic.

Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
