Pass The Butter .. Please.

Entry kali ni pasal margarine.. ye margarine yg guna utk buat kuih dan kadang2 sapu atas roti tu.. sebenarnye ada fakta disebalik margarine yg korang x tau.. yg korg taw apa?? makan je.. heheh..

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

• 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 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.

• 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:

Get yourself a 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 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?

p/s: this entry is not 100%-ly mine.. i get this from an email and i think i needed to share it with you.. so if the original writer tell lies.. my info might be wrong.. sorry in advance if i done any mistake.. that all fof now.. love, love, love :p

Untuk entry kali ni jom kita kenal serba sedikit pasal makanan tradisi korea, KIMCHI.. Korang mesti pernah dengar pasal kimchi kan..

Kimchi adalah makanan tradisional Korea yg diperbuat drpd sayur-sayuran yang diperisakan dengan serbuk cili dan herba yang diperap.. kimchi merupakan side-dish wajib bagi kebanyakan rumah2 di korea..

proses pembuatan kimchi

Sebenarnya ada banyak jenis kimchi kt korea.. Kimchi biasanye dibuat dari lobak putih, kobis, timun, green onion dll..

selain dimakan sbgai side-dish dgn nasi, kimchi juga dijadikan main ingredient untuk makanan Korea yg lain seperti kimchi soup, kimchi stew, kimchi pancake & kimchi fried rice...

dari aspek kesihatan, kimchi mengandungi fiber yg tinggi kerana ramuan utamanya adalah sayur-sayuran. ia juga mengandungi vitamin C & carotene yg mencukupi utk kegunaan seharian. ia juga mengandungi banyak vitamin lain yg disumbang oleh sayur-sayuran yg dicampur.

Majalah HEALTH juga pernah menamakan Kimchi sbg "World's Healthiest Food".

Additional info:

In 1996, Korea argued that Japanese kimchi was substantially different from traditional kimchi (in particular, that it was not fermented), and that it therefore should not be labeled kimchi. Korea lobbied for an international standard from the Codex Alimentarius, an organization associated with the World Health Organization that defines voluntary standards for food preparation. A non-binding standard was published in 2001 that described production methods similar to those traditionally used in Korea.
