Re: Disturbing facts on margarine
 

I'm sure neither is good for you. The question is which one is not as bad for you. Butter is made from more natural products where margarine is man made. I'll stick with my butter. My family has a history of heart desease so I need to take every precaution I can to lower colesterol etc.

Why does it matter if something is man-made or natural? Molecules are molecules, they all contain the same atoms. It's not like natural molecules are better than man-made molecules. What matters is the effect on the body these things might have, and I seriously doubt my vegetable oil "butter" spray is going to harm me.

Re: Disturbing facts on margarine
 

If something is natural your body knows how to break it down. Your body doesn't know what to do with margarine/unnatural (manmade) products. That's why it increases the likelyhood of cronic heart desease by 53%.

If you want to keep your arteries clean, eat nothing but veggies and meat. All 100% natural ----. If you want to keep the heart attack rate up keep eating margarine, mcdonalds, etc.

Re: Disturbing facts on margarine
 

butter = man made
margarine = man made


i dont use margarine at all if one is required... but i rarely use butter either...

Re: Disturbing facts on margarine
 

That's if the veggies and meat are all natural and not enhanced. Is the water purifed that is being used to water the plants or be given to animals or the food they eat natural? I do notice it tastes not as great on toast and corn on the cob. When used in cooking I can't really tell the difference. That's just more for us and less for bugs. 8)

People will argue that synthetic molecules are worse because they form "unnatural" compounds in the body, the molecules aren't always the same. Most organic glucosamine compounds are assimilated as lypids and neurotransmitter protiens, some synthetic compounds can lead to tangent molecules that aren't exactly good for bodily functions, i.e. the "natural" chemical reaction is altered by the introduction of random molecules that were formed "unaccounted for"/ "tolerable".

This means many things, not many of them good. Bottom line is people aren't as good at putting stuff together as physical law.
