Microwave popcorn is a worldwide popular comfy food we have all enjoyed while at parties, movie  nights, family or friends gatherings, and much more. Many brands offer a wide variety of flavors and  presentations, and while we all know it can be a nice addition to happy memories we will explain how  it is simply much better to wipe them out of your diet. Not only do they have a high concentration of  chemicals, preservatives and unnatural ingredients that can be harmful to human health they are also  a relevant contributor of waste and unwanted chemicals in the environment. Regardless of their  practicality and easy-to-prepare methods, the potential negative impacts that you might experience later on are not worth some popcorn.     Reliable Sources where you can learn more:  • Bioavailability and health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in popcorn kernel from sandy loam Ferric Luvisol amended with municipal solid waste compost  • Spirometric Abnormalities and Lung Function Decline in Current and Former Microwave Popcorn  and Current Flavoring Manufacturing Workers  • Risk assessment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food: Symposium proceedings      Thank you to our sponsors: Bite is offering my listeners 20% off your first order.
