alam mo ba?
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys (yun ba yung mga naka-uniporme na may suksok na 9mm sa baywang?). 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? (bakit dilaw? hindi asul? o pink?) They have come out with some clever new flavorings. DO YOU KNOW.. the difference between margarine and butter? (hinde..) 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! (take that, james yap!) Butter tastes much better than margarine (but not sex. not even close) and it can enhance the flavors of other foods (pati potency ba?). Butter has been around for centuries whereas 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 chole! sterol) 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.. (puuuwwtanginah?!) 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 (siguraduhing walang kasamang pandesal at hindi makita ng utol mong bwakanangtakaw). 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) (na sarado garahe namin? as in parang vacuum?) * 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? (ay pwede ba yun? eh yung monobloc na upuan namin? bago pa yun, saka na baka magalit si ermats) 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."

*salamat kay anne bettina arcueres, sa kaniya ito, dinagdagan ko lang ng mga paningit. at hindi na ako kakain ng marjarin, alige na lang.
