Difference between Margarine and Butter
Something of interest to watch out for:
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.
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) and
lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.
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 < STRONG> ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC..
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?
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.
So…, DO IT !

Those Were The Day
if you are Msia’s 80s baby,read through
this, we grew up watching Transformers,
Thundercats, Woody Woodpecker,
Chipmunks, Mickey Mouse, Jem, Mask,
Ninja Turtles, Voltron, Baja Hitam,
Ultraman n not forgettin POWER RANGERS
n BUGS BUNNY!!!and anderra yippa mice?
:), McGyver ?
had to brush our teeths during recess
at primary school? had to hold plastic
cups, line up with your classmates side
by side and start brushing our teeths
at some open area… or maybe near some
drain??
do you still remember that we had
‘dentist’ rooms where we had to have
our
teeths check?
not to forget our ‘program minum susu’
in primary school.. everybody is
suppose
to buy like cartons of milk that costed
30 cents.. and you would see everyone
drinking it everyday…its d UHT
milk…
the teachers who would want to punish
us must use yellow rulers to hit us on
our palms?? 1 metre length..
that a bowl of mihun soup or some soup
only costed 50 cents at the school
canteen…
went to some sundry shop near the
school
or to the ‘roti’ man waiting outside
our
schools so that we can buy junk food
like chickedees, mamee, ding dang with
some toys in it, ‘Ti Kam’, ice-cream
and
we would play games like monopoly, uno,
old maid, and all other card games like
that…
another fun time would be during
Pendidikan Jasmani. the boys would
play football while the girls would
play netball… and it would be like we
were playing in the world cup…
but of course. the best would be main
guli, batu seremban, bottlecaps, ice-
cream sticks, ‘Pepsi Cola
one-two-three’, Cops and Robbers, main
kejar-kejar duduk,getah… and for the
not so active, those kind of ‘book
games’ where we would use buku latihan
to draw and ask our friends to play…
do you remember the ice-cream tubes
which are actually ice and colouring
that are sold for 10 to 20 cents.. the
colourful ones.. where you usually bite
off the top to glup it down.orange
tastes b best..(pop-ice)
what about days when we felt like doing
naughty things such as folding papers
so small to make ‘lastik’ amd shoot
each other… how about throwing
chalks??
back then, micheal jackson was just
turning white.. and still had albums
coming out.. compared to CD’s, we were
listening to tapes that sold for RM9.90
…
in computer class, we were still using
black and white computer moniters..
played ‘Atari’… maybe SEGA or
NINTENDO..
well, are we all getting older or what?
1) if you understand what you have read
and you are smiling…
2) we have friends from school that are
already married…
3) we shake our heads everytime we
see high school students fussing about
their handphones in school..
4) we don’t hang on phone with our
friends for hours a day talking about
nothing…
5) when we meet back with our friends
from time to time, we feel excited and
happy talking about old times, the
funny ‘adventures’ or stories that we
experienced as a kid..
6) last but not least, that when you
read this, you would think of all the
happy & sad memories that you have
experienced when you were still a kid
and would think of forwarding this to
your old friends that you have known
since forever… i’m sure they would
have a huge smile on their face after
reading this…..
p.s: if u feel u’re one of them who
experinced this, repost this to share
it wif ur frens…
