[lace-chat] Butter versus Margarine
Dear Friends, I haven't checked the validity of the discussion below - merely forwarding David in Ballarat Subject: Can't believe we eat this stuff! Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings. DO YOU KNOW...the difference between margarine and butter? Read on to the end...gets very interesting! Both have the same amount of calories. Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams. 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 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. Triple 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 fold. 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.. 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 substance). 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 or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny micro-organisms will not want it as a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

Re: [lace-chat] Butter versus Margarine
Dear Spiders, For the most part, this is a hoax. Being a butter-lover myself (baked things just do *not* taste as good with margarine, IMO) I was curious about all this. Hurrah, something in defense of butter, perhaps? But alas, not so, or at least not entirely. Here is a link to the Snopes Urban Legen Reference Pages, and it gives quite a bit of info about butter and all the non-butter alternatives that are on the market today: http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/butter.asp. Be all this as it may, I do not contaminate my refrigerator with margarine.

[lace-chat] Genealogy Advice sought ...
Hi, I know that several of you enjoy genealogy so I am asking for some advice. Since I became unemployed I have been busy building my family tree on genesreunited and I have a lot of information already (I had some good data to start with). However, I am reaching the point where I really need to start looking at records that are only available to subscribers or for credits (ie it needs me to spend money!) I am mostly looking at information in the UK but occasionally it strays off to Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the USA (and possibly elsewhere as well that I haven't identified). What I need advice on is which do you think is the best site to subscribe to? The main options I am aware of are Ancestry.co.uk and thegenealogist.co.uk. Which offers best value? My current thought is the latter but I really don't know, and maybe there are other sites as well? I would probably be doing a high number of searches (several common surnames!) so credits would add up considerably, I think it needs to be a 'you have access to everything' type of subscription . Opinions please :-) Thanks in advance, Helen (in Vancouver, BC on the west coast of mainland Canada where, after a night of high winds and rain, the sun is shining and I can look out to blue skies) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

OK, it's a recycled one, but it's been a while... A caveat: ja is yes in *German*, but *not* in Polish. In Polish, yes is tak, which happens to mean thank you in Denmark, which really had my head spinning, when I was there... :) From: S. L. A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl. Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well until one day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him - very quick. The lawyer said that the speed for getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions: LAWYER: Have you any grounds? POLE: JA, JA, acre and half and nice little home. LAWYER: No, I mean what is the foundation of this case? POLE: It made of concrete. LAWYER: Does either of you have a real grudge? POLE: No, we have carport, and not need one. LAWYER: I mean, What are your relations like? POLE: All my relations still in Poland. LAWYER: Is there any infidelity in your marriage? POLE: Ja, we have hi- fidelity stereo set and good DVD player. LAWYER: Does your wife beat you up? POLE: No, I always up before her. LAWYER: Is your wife a nagger? POLE: No, she white. LAWYER: WHY do you want this divorce? POLE: She going to kill me. LAWYER: What makes you think that? POLE: I got proof. LAWYER: What kind of proof? POLE: She going to poison me. She buy a bottle at drugstore and put on shelf in bathroom.
