Do you resent those people who send you mail asking you to "Foward this to 10 friends?"
I just replied to a lifelong friends mail today. I've edited personal info. I think my reply was classic enough.....
Thanks for this one Diane!
LOL! (now for some of my dry humour!)
I have just spent an hour editing all the crap out of this, including 10,000 bullets.
This is now a nice readable article and quite interesting!
Will you please forward this to ten of your friends that sent you this.

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 colouring and sold it to people to use in
place of butter. How do you like it? They have
come out with some clever new flavourings....
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 for margarine.
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 and only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than
margarine and it can enhance the flavours 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 ....
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 times..
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... and
shares 27 ingredients with PAINT
Tthe 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 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 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?
