Don't know if this fact has been brought up yet, but...
Here's a piece of an article I read: *** DID YOU KNOW... The difference between margarine and butter? Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE from being PLASTIC... ( this fact alone was 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 food ) YOU can try this yourself, purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area, within a couple of days you will note 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, 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? Yuck! *** Is that true? Kinda gross... imagine. If one molecule changed, everything plastic would turn into margarine, and vice versa. |

Im sure there are lots of foods that are one molecule different from something we don't eat...But I don't care, I'll still use margarine.

 NO. I'm not 13. or 14. or 15. or 16. Group: Member Posts: 4,616 Joined: Jul 2004 Member No: 30,577 |
If we had one molecule changed in us, we wouldn't be able to survive...so there's a pretty big difference.

Sure, if you keep adding some things to some things - they can be near gold. Mwahahah.

Freaky, I never knew that. But I spread neither butter nor [or is it or?] margarine on anything I eat. Not toast, not pancakes, so it doesn't really matter. Unless it's already cooked with butter or margarine... Oh well, as long as it doesn't have that one molecule.

I like margarine more than I like butter, but that's pretty interesting if it's true.

I don't eat margarine, anyway...so it doesn't really matter to me.
Does anyone know if it's safe to eat 100% tupperware plastic? |

I'm skeptical of the validity of that statement. Margarine is mostly animal or vegetable fats, with a few other ingredients (which can include skim milk, emulsifiers, and salt). I don't think any of those things are plastic.

Yeah its all about the carbon bonding in the molecules. Margarine is unsaturated (as in the unsaturated fats in the butter) which means that it has a carbon = carbon double bond. polyalkane plastics do not have these double bonds and so are called saturated (as all the potential hydrogens have been bonded). Interestingly enough the reason we can't eat plastic is because it does not have any spare bonds that the body can react with and so cannot break down.
