Battle of the spreads: Butter vs. margarine

Battle of the Spreads?
The "battle" was won years ago and there is no debate any longer.
Butta is betta.

Margarine and things like Crisco are partially hydrogenated foods. The process of partially hydrogenating changes food on a molecular level, this confuses the body and in its confusion it creates triple fatty acids. These acids become cellulite. Cellulite never goes away. It can shrink and expand but is understood to never disappear. This body malfunction is a leading cause in conditions like heart disease, and has been linked to a plethora of other diseases including (but not limited to) cancer. The body does not know how to breakdown or assimilate these chemicals. Often the body will store it instead of eliminate it because the body is confused. And cancer is a malfunction in the body's repair system. So cancer can start when trying to fix the damage it has caused by storing certain unwelcome toxins.

The use of ALL of these products, and their chemical cousins should always be avoided.

Chemicals do not take the place of food... ever.

There was a grand myth created in the eighties regarding fat. We were told that fat was the culprit in a number of physical aliments and that thinking is quite misunderstood.

Fat is not bad for us. In fact, certain fats are imperative to healthy organ functioning. None of these necessary fats are found in processed food (margarine). It's all the chemicals, disguised as food, that are doing the damage. There just simply is NO fat-free fat, or sugar-free sugar. No person should ingest these chemicals, let alone on a regular basis.

In the thirties a dentist by the name of Price traveled the world to find out why American health was deteriorating, even back then. What he found was that the mass processing of food and the over use of enriched wheat and sugar was to blame. All indigenous peoples around the world ate fat, as well as fermented foods, seasonal foods and very little sugar. In fact some indigenous peoples, like the Eskimos, ingested large quantities of fat, and suffered none of the degenerative diseases that were afflicting Americans. Dr. Price believed that teeth, or overall health of the mouth, was a good indicator of a person's complete body health and these peoples around the world had excellent teeth; little to no decay and no need for an Orthodontist. His work has never been negated and is still used in lectures all over the world.

This line of thinking is widely accepted throughout the medical world and all health
