Butter vs Margarine

Think of a pat of butter on a slice of fresh warm bread. Sounds good doesn't it? Unfortunately, the saturated fat in butter isn't good for you so you can subsitute margarine right? Well, no, not really. Most margarines contain trans fats, which are bad for you too. Which is better for you? Margarine or butter? Maybe you should cut down on both and choose healthier alternatives like olive oil, canola oil and walnut oil. Butter or Margarine?

but accoring to this site :

Researchers advise consumers to reduce their intake of both saturated and trans fats. They recommend that vegetable oils be used in their natural liquid state whenever possible, and say that less hydrogenated semi-liquid or soft margarines are a better choice than either stick margarine or butter.

Would it mean that regular butter/margarine have even MORE hydrogenated oil? I dunno

Very interesting.... now if they can make just a butter that actually SPREADS!!

Try Spreadable/Whipped butter - like some places have small little personal size containers that they serve with breakfast:

butter Notes: This is a delicious solid fat churned from milk. It's used in baking, frying, and as a spread on toast and muffins. Recipes that call for butter in most better cookbooks are referring to unsalted butter = sweet cream butter = sweet butter. Salted butter doesn't spoil as readily (the salt serves as a preservative). See also the entries for whipped butter and European-style butter. Equivalents: 1 pound = 2 cups = 4 sticks. 1 stick = 8 tablespoons. 1 stick salted butter = 1 stick unsalted butter + 3/8 teaspoon salt. (The salt content of salted butter can vary between brands.)

To make your own: In a blender or food processor, mix one cup chilled whipping cream for a few minutes until butter forms. Pour off excess liquid (buttermilk) and wash butter repeatedly with cold water until rinse water is clear. Substitutions: margarine (This has an inferior flavor, makes bread crusts tougher and cookies softer, and may make cookies more difficult to shape. Avoid using it in flaky pastries.) OR shortening (This has an inferior flavor, and compared to butter it makes cookies crunchier and breads crusts softer. OR lard (This has an inferior flavor, but it makes flakier pastries than butter. Some cooks mix lard with butter to strike a balance between flavor and flakiness. Substitute four parts lard for every five parts butter called for in recipe.) See also: fat (for low-fat or no-fat substitutions)

This is interesting ~ ~ ~ ~

Margarine was originally manufactured
tofatten 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 likeit? They have come out with some clever new flavori ngs.

DOYOU KNOWthe 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.. < /U>

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 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 someoneshares something of value with you and you benefit

from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others."

No clue how accurate those "facts" may be. But I always liked butter better than margarine!
