You are absolutely right, Sheri! Thank you for posting this! People, eat whole, REAL food! Keep this in mind....if there's an ad for it, it's not good for you! Low fat anything has tons of sugar and chemicals, because fat is what makes food taste good.

You have been misinformed about the origin of margarine. It is primarily vegetable oil and water and was developed in the 1800s as a butter substitute which the middle and lower class could afford.

http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/butter.asp This is just a silly chain letter. Margarine was not invented to feed turkeys. And overall, margarine IS better for your heart because it has lots of unsaturated fats (the kind you want). It's the trans fat in margarine that you want to limit, but some brands don't have as much -- soft margarine spreads are better for you than stick margarine. Trans fats are also in fried foods, potato chips, cake, pies -- anything with partially hydrogenated oil or vegetable shortening. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/butter-vs-margarine/faq-20058152

The POSTING was from a friend on facebook. I do not think all this is true but I do believe it MARARGINE is horrible for you. Try putting your margarine outside and see what if anything is attracted to it. Scientifically it is 1 molecule away from plastic. Parts of this article are true...very true. Its personal choice. I have given up Margarine....my HDL is lowered 70%....that speaks for it self. My weight loss is a factor and my blood pressure is lower than my 18 year old. I have a cardiologist, neurologist and internist on my side and BUTTER IS BETTER. We have been misinformed for years from the Pharma, doctors and the manufactures because they make more money on prescribing a STATIN for our cholesterol and HB. Just wanted to share some information that was it.

Oh thank gosh! I really was scared! When I read it I thought about the vegetable oil part, but was too hooked on you saying it being plastic that I guess I had the wool pulled over my eyes. Thank you for for correcting. I don't think I'll eat it anyways though...

Always hated margarine. Dr. Fung has some interesting things to say about it in his book, too. Natural all the way.

If I knew how to post picture on this I have plenty to show you. I have been eating LCHF for 8 mos my doctors as I stated before. A specialist in Diabeties, Neurologist, and Internist oh ya and my family practitioner. Have all stated I am in the best state of health in my life. I Have lost 11 inches on my waist and 14 on my hips. My blood sugar is perfect. HDL levels perfect. Menopause has stopped in its tracks. BUTTER IS NOT PROCESSED.....remember the field trips you took in school to the old farms and churned it??? I eat natural. This was a topic on margarine not an essay on who knows what.

I read about that years ago. I buy real butter and don't do soda hardly but if I do you might as well go for the real thing because the chemicals in diet soda or diet anything is bad.
