Butter Over Margerine?

Very interesting!!!!!!!!

A little factoid for the troops! TJW

Wine over water,due to the bacteria and butter over margarine beacause of the following. . . .














Pass the butter ~ ~ ~ ~ This is interesting.





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 coloring






and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it?

They have come out with some clever new flavorings.




DO YOU KNOW...the difference between margarine and butter?




Read on...it 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..

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?

Potato Peeler

--- Try this. I think that I will:

Ben & Jerry's New Ice Cream Flavor

In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor; "Barocky Road".

Barocky Road is a blend of half Vanilla, half Chocolate, and surrounded by Nuts and Flakes.

The Vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient.

The Nuts and Flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.

The cost is $100.00 per scoop.

When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the Ice Cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you.

Thus you are left with an empty Wallet, no change, holding an empty cone, with no hope of getting any Ice Cream.

Are you feeling stimulated yet???????

God's Pharmacy

Well, I don't know about you, but I don't think I'll ever be able to eat figs again. ---PEF


A friend sent this to me.

It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human.

He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw We're such slow learners...

God left us great clues as to what foods help what part of our body!
Gods Pharmacy! Amazing!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones.
These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full
of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives
assist the health and function of the ovaries

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion,Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

Fork

I thought this might be nice to read as you use your fork to dig in to your Christmas dinner tomorrow! Enjoy. As much as you can enjoy any pesky email forward. --PEF

Woman and a Fork< There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things 'in order,' she contacted her Pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him the songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in. Everything was in order and the Pastor was going to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. 'There's one more thing,' she said excitedly. 'What's that?' came the Pastor's reply. 'This is very important,' the young woman continued. 'I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.' The Pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say. That surprises you, doesn't it?' the young woman asked. 'Well, to be honest, I'm puzzled by the request,' said the Pastor. The young woman explained.. 'My grandmother once told me this story, and from that time on I have always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement. In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming... like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!' So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder 'What's with the fork?' Then I want you to tell them: 'Keep your fork .the best is yet to come' The Pastor's eyes welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge. She KNEW that something better was coming. At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the Pastor heard the question, 'What's with the fork?' And over and over he smiled. During his message, the Pastor told the people of the conversation he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and about what it symbolized to her. He told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either. He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork let it remind you, ever so gently, that the best is yet to come. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. Show your friends how much you care. Remember to always be there for them, even when you need them more. For you never know when it may be their time to 'Keep your fork.' Cherish the time you have, and the memories you share. being friends with someone is not an opportunity but a sweet responsibility. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND even if it means sending it back to the person who sent it to you. And keep your fork!

Poison Pancakes

I've gotten this one a few times now. Apparently everyone likes to buy pancake mix but no one likes to make it into pancakes? People--we're in an economic crisis. Spend your money on stuff you will eat, and eat what you spend your money on. So gross. ---PEF

Can I say WOW!?!

WARNING IN THE KITCHEN -- Please Read

A student at HBHS had pancakes this week and it almost became fatal. His Mom
(registered nurse) made him pancakes, dropped him off at school and headed
to play tennis. She never takes her cell phone on the court but did this
time and her son called to say he was having trouble breathing. She told him
to go to the nurse immediately and proceeded to call school and alert the
nurse. The nurse called the paramedics and they were there in 3 minutes and
worked on the boy all the way to the hospital. He came so close to dying.
Evidently this is more common then I ever knew. Check the expiration dates
on packages like pancakes and cake mixes that have yeast which over time
develop spores.
.

WARNING ABOUT Pancake Mix (and other boxed mixes)

(maybe you already know this, I DID NOT !!) Talk about frightening. ...

Throw away ALL OUTDATED pancake mix you have in your home, PLEASE! If you
don't believe me, read this article and then follow the 'Link' below to
SNOPES. Sorry to be the Grim Reaper of bad news, but I would rather have you
ALIVE, besides a $2.00 box of pancake mix is NOT worth your life.

P. S. You might want to tell this to your children, grandchildren, nephews,
nieces and anyone else who keeps pancake mix in the cupboard.

WARNING - READ ON. AND CHECK SNOPES TOO.

http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/pancake.asp <http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/pancake.asp>

From Snopes: cause of death due to anaphylaxic shock reaction to molds. I
recently made a batch of pancakes for my healthy
14-year-old son, using a mix that was in our pantry. He said that they
tasted 'funny,' but ate t hem anyway. About 10 minutes later, he began having
difficulty breathing and his lips began turning purple. I gave him his
allergy pill, had him sit on the sofa and told him to relax. He was wheezing
while inhaling and exhaling. My husband, a volunteer Firefighter and EMT,
heated up some water, and we had my son lean over the water so the steam
could clear his chest and sinuses. Soon, his breathing became more regular
and his lips returned to a more normal color. We checked the date on the box
of pancake mix and, to my dismay, found it was very outdated. As a reference
librarian at an academic institution, I have the ability to search through
many research databases. I did just that, and found an article the next day
that mentioned a 19-year-old male DYING after eating pancakes made with
outdated mix. Apparently, the mold that forms in old pancake mix can be
toxic!

When we told o ur friends about my son's close call, we were surprised at the
number of people who mentioned that they should check their own pancake mix
since they don't use it often, or they had purchased it some time ago. With
so many people shopping at warehouse-type stores and buying large sizes of
pancake mix, I hope your readers will take the time to check the expiration
date on their boxes. Also, beware of outdated Bisquick, cake, brownie and
cookie mix.

Giving Up Wine

Ha, this one did actually make me laugh. Hope you laugh too! ---PEF

Giving Up Wine









I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly
dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of
dollars for dinner.



I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, 'If I give you
this money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?'



'No, I had to stop drinking years ago', the homeless woman told me.



'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I asked.



'No, I don't waste time shopping,' the homeless woman said. 'I need to
spend all my time trying to stay alive.'



'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked.



'Are you NUTS!' replied the homeless woman. I haven't had my hair done
in 20 years!'



'Well, I said, ' I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going
to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.'



The homeless Woman was
shocked. 'Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know
I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.'



I said, 'That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks
like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.'

Happy Thanksgiving!!

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift.

The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.

Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with
profanity.

John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying
only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.

Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled
back.

John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder, John in
desperation threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer.

For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said ....."I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions.

I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior.

"John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.

As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

Happy Thanksgiving.
