Margarine: even your worst enemy doesn't deserve it

Today's topic is inspired by my grandmother who accepted to get rid of her margarine and start eating raw butter again — exactly as she did more than 70 years ago.

What Is Margarine?

The manufacturing process reveals how many unnatural and harmful chemicals are used in this cheap butter-imitation spread.

First, vegetable oils and fats are emulsified and modified by fractionation, often by hydrogenation — passing hydrogen through liquid oils to increase melting point and "harden" them. Hydrogenation often uses toxic nickel catalyst. This process artificially produces trans-fats (bonds that didn't fully hydrogenate) — the villains that drastically increase cardiovascular disease risk.

To boost the "health" profile, manufacturers add:

• -Various animal or vegetable fats
• -Skimmed milk (DEAD food)
• -Emulsifiers (like soy lecithin — very harmful)
• -Preservatives

The Toxic Chemicals in Margarine

Trans Fats

Margarine contains unnatural, harmful trans fats with direct impact on:

• -Heart disease
• -Cancer
• -Hormonal imbalances
• -Skin disease
• -Bone problems
• -Infertility
• -Growth and development problems in children
• -Low birth weight

MAN-MADE trans fats are TOXIC and UNSAFE at any level (unlike rare natural trans fats in butter).

Solvents

Solvents like hexane used in margarine fabrication are VERY DETRIMENTAL and TOXIC to human health.

Synthetic Vitamins

Synthetic Vitamin A added to margarine has the opposite effect and is detrimental compared to natural Vitamin A in real butter.

Emulsifiers and Preservatives

Chemicals like BHT are proven carcinogenic and detrimental.

Bleach

Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils are naturally grey. Manufacturers bleach them white to look like butter, then add artificial yellow coloring. You're eating something that looks like butter but isn't food.

Artificial Flavors

Because the result tastes terrible, manufacturers add artificial flavors and odors to fake a butter taste.

Soy Protein Isolate

Non-fermented soy is VERY HARMFUL. Added for texture, it disrupts thyroid function, causes digestive disorders, and creates serious health problems.

"Cholesterol-Lowering" Sterols

These are estrogen compounds that disrupt hormonal balance and can cause sexual inversion in animals. Do you really want them in your body?

TRUST NATURE: Choose Butter

Natural raw butter from grass-fed cows is an incredible health food, rich in essential nutrients.

What Real Butter Contains:

Vitamins: Bio-available A, D, E, K2 — essential and hard to find in Western diets. Antioxidants fight free-radicals.

Minerals: Manganese, chromium, zinc, copper, selenium, iodine — crucial for immune system, digestion, thyroid function, metabolism.

Healthy Fats: Short and medium-chain fatty acids extremely beneficial at cellular level. Essential for immune system, metabolism, antimicrobial properties. Balance omega 3/6 ratio. Arachidonic acid is essential for BRAIN and SKIN health.

CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid): Grass-fed butter is high in CLA — EXCELLENT cancer protection. Boosts metabolism and muscle building.

Glycosphingolipids: Lipids that protect your digestive tract from gastrointestinal infections. Children drinking low-fat milk are more prone to diarrhea than those drinking whole milk.

Cholesterol: Butter is rich in GOOD ESSENTIAL CHOLESTEROL needed by EVERY SINGLE CELL of your body.

Wulzen Factor: A hormone-like substance in RAW butter that helps fight arthritis and joint stiffness.

Stop the commercial brainwash. Choose real, raw butter from grass-fed cows. Your body and health will thank you.

In Love and Health,
