Pass me the butter please~~~ My comment.

Jawapan ni sebenarnya merupakan email yg sy balas utk seorg kawan yg mahukan komen ttg info yg dia terima ttg perbezaan marjerin & butter. Tapi sy malas nk buat research, cari scientific papers, utk perbandingan tersebut. Penat la beb...

Salam...

emel ni dah lama sgt dah.. pada pendapat aku ni komplot org2 western yg mmg taknak promote margarine yg diperbuat dr minyak kelapa sawit. dorang kan jual butter yg diperbuat dr susu & minyak kacang soya, canola, bunga matahari, zaitun dll. ini semua competitor minyak kelapa sawit la.

minyak kelapa sawit byk keistimewaan samada utk mkn shj mahupun dlm industri makanan itu sendiri. Pernah ada isu kat US dulu, yg dorg suggest utk boikot minyak kelapa sawit Msia. Sbbnya US byk guna margarine utk menggoreng, buat burger etc (dorg kan byk mkn makanan bergoreng, sama la cam kita kat sini). So tak bagus sgt la utk ekonomi dorg. Butter, minyak canola, bunga matahari, zaitun semuanya bagus utk kesihatan tapi tak elok utk menggoreng. Cuma margarine dr myk kelapa sawit jer yg mampu digunakan utk menggoreng & harganya lebih murah.

kalo ko baca betul2 emel kat bawah tu, mcm2 keburukan marjerin disebut tapi keburukan butter tak pulak disebutkan. sedangkan kedua-duanya sama buruk jer dari segi kesihatan. sama2 tak elok.

kedua-dua marjerin dan butter boleh meningkatkan risiko sakit jantung, boleh sumbatkan arteris dgn deposit lemak. kedua-duanya meningkatkatkan risiko obesiti atau kegemukan.

Marjerin diperbuat dgn mendedahkan minyak sayur itu kepada gas hidrogen, pehtu molekul2 hidrogen tu akan masuk ke struktur asid lemak yg tertentu dan menjadikannya lebih stabil pada suhu bilik. Then minyak yg dlm bentuk cecair tu akan berubah jd pepejal yakni marjerin pada suhu bilik. Sejauh mana melting point (titik cair) marjerin boleh ditentukan dgn kadar pendedahannya kepada hidrogen tersebut. Butter tak perlukan proses ini sbb mmg secara semulajadi butter atau lemak susu (setelah diekstrak dr susu cecair) mmg beku/pepejal pd suhu bilik.

Akan tetapi butter mengandungi kolesterol secara semula jadi kerana ia diperbuat dr susu lembu. Susu lembu mengandungi kolesterol (yg berada dlm lemak susu tu). Manakala, marjerin TIDAK mengandungi kolesterol kerana ia diperbuat drpd minyak sayuran (kelapa sawit). Bahkan semua minyak sayuran mcm minyak zaitun, canola, matahari, jagung tak ada kolesterol. Jgn konpius pulak yer? Jgn percaya pulak kalo ader emel/org lain yg claim minyak sayur ader kolesterol. Bu-syit le tuh! he he he.

Dlm tubuh kita dah ade cukup kolesterol dah. kita tak perlukan kolesterol dr makanan lagi. Skrg ni pon dah ade byk marjerin yg tak ada trans fatty acid. Ko boleh la beli yg itu. Ada byk jual kat hypermarkets. Labelnya tertulis : ZERO (0%) percent of trans fafty acids. tapi aku tak pasti cemana dorg proses marjerin tanpa trans fafty acid ni, teknologi baru kot. Dulu2 aku blaja semuanya ada asid trans tu he he.

Tapi pape pon, kurangkan la makan butter mahupun marjerin. Setakat utk bersuka ria tu tak apa la.. mcm mkn kek, biskut yg sememangnya ada marjerin & butter, (he he) sbb benda2 mcm ni kita tak mkn byk. tapi jgn amalkan utk makanan harian. Sbb lemak & kolesterol berada di mana2 jua, kita tak dpt nk elak. So selagi boleh kurangkan, kurangkan je laa. Once dah ada byk dlm badan susah nk buang.

tq.

Attached is the original msg:
Pass The Butter .. Please.     

         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 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?   

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 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 

These 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 micro-organisms 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?   

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..   
Pass the BUTTER   PLEASE
