Margarine isn't better for your heart than butter it's worse, according to a new analysis of a 40-year-old study. For 50 years, health experts and organizations, including the American Heart Association, have urged people to replace butter and other saturated fats in their diets with vegetable oils to reduce the risk of heart disease. Millions of Americans responded by replacing butter with margarine made from omega-6 polyunsaturated vegetable oils found in corn and safflower oil.
Decades later, however, heart disease is still the leading cause of death in both American men and women, and a recent analysis of data collected from 1966 to 1973 indicates that replacing butter and other saturated fats with vegetable oils may have increased the risk of heart disease instead of reducing it.

When my mother was alive we had this exact discussion. I was using your aforementioned margarine and my mother used butter.
She pretty much did a point for point from the article. That discussion happened over twenty years ago. She lived to 86.
You forgot the ketchup.....
Dude, I’m never going to eat at your house. That’s just nasty.
It was very cheap compared to butter. We had the package with white lard like stuff and the red coloring dot which we squeezed until it was yellow.
You’d probably be surprised how many food service workers don’t wash their hands. Especially the ones who never attended American schools where hygiene was promoted.
“Dude, Im never going to eat at your house. Thats just nasty.”
Don’t go to the doctor either. They’re a lot more intimate than I will ever be.
It’s a rough world, but doctors, more than anyone, know the damage done to skin by constantly washing and “sanitizing”, which is why they don’t do it either, at least when people aren’t looking.
Well, who knew that talking margarine was a silent killer??
Not real sure how this applies to Korean TV
lol
You have to ask what the reason is for having two kinds of butter. Salt was originally added to butter when it became rancid, to cover up the nasty rancid taste. I guess that the quality of butter these days is such that the stuff with salt isn't rancid anymore, and therefore salt is unnecesary, but salted butter is still available for people that are used to the taste. I prefer unsalted butter, but my lovely wife makes me buy salted butter because of the taste of salt. She has no problem with blood pressure. To me, it isn't worth marital disharmony over the difference.
Butter (and bacon) rules!
Oh, I don’t doubt you a bit.
Lewis Grizzard did a hilarious routine about ordering some fried eggs.
Horrified Staff and patrons warned him away.
Good Lord Man! You are as good as dead!
I used to churn butter at my grandparents places when I was a kid. My grandmothers both cooked with butter, because they MADE it. And whatever my mama fed me didn't stunt my growth. When I was 45 I could still lift an engine block, but now that I'm (almost) 52 the 8/4 hardwood I've been wrassling all week, with the overtime, has done tuckered me out.
But that exhaustion is probably something else. Only my liver knows for sure.
“Youd probably be surprised how many food service workers dont wash their hands.”
Yea, I used to work at a fast food place. No need to wash my hands, unless they seemed dirty (like after working on my car in their parking lot...then I’d wash-up, of course).
And Mazola parties are under high scrutiny from the authority’s!
This is the best non-butter substitute I’ve tried. It has a good texture and melts like butter. But it’s good for you.

Park A. Park B. How many of the actors in the Korean shows you watch have the name Park???????
Well, who knew that talking margarine was a silent killer??
Shhhh.... LOL
That’s RACIST!
It's obvious that you're a young'un. Before the dot, there was the little packet from which you sprinkled the coloring powder into the white stuff; that was during WWII. And it wasn't encased in a plastic bag either; you had to mix it with a wooden spoon or with your hands!
