I like butter more then margarine. Margarine tastes like shit.

Posted: **Mon Apr 02, 2007 1:33 pm**

Wow nice I never knew about that stuff.

Posted: **Mon Apr 02, 2007 1:42 pm**

It's the milk thread again!

I grew up on margarine. It's cheaper and easier to spread on toast.

Since I started baking I stick to butter. You just can't bake with margarine and get the same results.

Yeah my name is hot sauce. I gots that potion. I shake you fast or in slow motion >.>

Wikipedia.org wrote:Butter versus margarine
The controversy over butter and margarine regarding which should be used as a spread or for cooking rests on how much cholesterol, saturated fats, and trans fatty acids each has.

Butterfat contains 2-5% trans fatty acids (mainly C18:1w7), and butter has high levels of cholesterol and saturated fat. The FDA states that healthy people should not consume more than 200mg of gjhcholesterol each day and butter has 33mg of cholesterol in each tablespoon. A healthy range of saturated fat intake is 10-15g each day. One tablespoon contains over 7g of saturated fat. For this reason, some people recommend that you should limit butter in your diet. This formula is called into question when foods that are very low in saturated fat, yet high in cholesterol, like shrimp, are factored into the equation. Studies have shown that actual cholesterol consumption is not the direct cause of high cholesterol, rather it is saturated fat consumption.

Vegetable shortenings do not contain any cholesterol and have only 3g of saturated fat per tablespoon. However, they are high in transfatty acids.

Margarine contains no cholesterol and has low levels of saturated fat, but some products have high trans fat levels. Stick margarine contains the most trans fat; tub or liquid margarine has about two-thirds less. Trans-fat-free varieties of margarine in a tub form are available, however as noted above even products legally labelled as containing "zero grams" of trans fat may still contain this substance.

yes in the long run when eaten in moderation butter is much healthier but that a pretty bad reason to avoid it. this one hit me in particular becauase i love chemistry and biology and you'd be surprised by how 1 molecule can make a BIG difference in what the matterial is. In chemical terms 1 molecule makes a huge difference...

Butter ftw.

Posted: **Tue Apr 03, 2007 1:55 am**

Water is one atom away from being oxygen. That doesn't mean I can breathe water.

What does "one molecule away" mean, anyway? A hamburger is "one molecule away" from being a hamburger full of cyanide. We're all gonna die.

Science is fun but should be used for Good. Not for Stupid.

Butter has high cholersterol and saturated fat while margarine has high levels of trans fat. But it would all depend on the type you bought. And the one molecule is just nonsense because if you ever took chemistry, you would understand that one molecule or even the way they are arranged create totally different things.

butter is best for baking. As far as spreads it's really a matter of preferred flavor.

Everything in moderation is the key.

Like my new sig bake?

Posted: **Tue Apr 03, 2007 2:59 pm**

I would like it better if you formatted it without BBCode quotes to make it five or so lines shorter.

I experienced that "margerine is plastic" thing years ago when i ate butter for a year then tried margerine again

H2O <=> O2

More like 3 (-2 hydrogen; +1 oxygen), but the reaction is quite easy

2H2O <=> 2H2 + O2

Anyway I like the taste of butter, alltough I don't eat it much.
Mostly for cooking/baking and on toast, not on plain bread, unless it's brown bread with soup.

Posted: **Wed Apr 04, 2007 10:09 am**

but...but...i like plastic =0

j/k

ive always used butter and never margarine

Posted: **Wed Apr 04, 2007 1:41 pm**

Oops, egg on my face. Yeah, water to oxygen is an electrolysis thing. I should have stuck with CO and CO2 but I liked the drinking metaphor.

Posted: **Wed Apr 04, 2007 5:53 pm**

butter is better. but whipped butter is best for spreading and has less fat

It's not that hard to not use butter.
I rarely eat butter on bread.
And you can cook perfectly with oliveoil or ant kind of oil.
Making cookies wouldn't be nice, but not using butter yourself isn't hard.

Butter +1

Did the message from the email was "If you dont send this to 10 people in 10 minits a child will die in Africa"? If it was, it was false.

Anyway margarine is bad for you

The kid would die anyway and I presume in less as 10minutes.

Thats just some crappy chain e-mail thingy

They always talk utter bs

I hardly ever get e-mails like that, i warn people who have my e-mail not to send them. If they carry on then their address gets blocked :twisted:
