Both butter and margarine have the same amount of calories. Butter, however, is slighly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for magarine. Eating magarine 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 magarine 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 and LDL (bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL (good cholesterol). Increases the risk of cancers up to 5 times. Lowers quality of breast milk. Decreases immune response. Decreases insulin response. And here's the most disturbing fact...Margarine is but one MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC...and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT.
Try this yourself: purchase a tub of margarine and leaave 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 micro-organisms will not make a home to grow.
Why?
Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
