Today we’re going to talk about microwave popcorn and whether or not it’s safe to eat. At the center of the kernel of the corn, there is a little bit of water. When you heat it, it expands until it explodes. Popcorn has been around for a long time. Americans consume about 1.2 billion pounds (500 million kg) of popcorn every year.

Popcorn is not keto-friendly. I think it’s best to avoid eating popcorn. There is a certain chemical in microwave popcorn that prevents the oil from seeping through the bag. It’s also present in Teflon, pizza boxes, sandwich wrappers, and other packaging. About 98% of Americans have this chemical in their bodies. But, this chemical is a carcinogen that can potentially lead to kidney cancer and testicular cancer.

There is also another chemical used in microwave popcorn for the flavoring that can potentially lead to popcorn lung. The hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils that are in microwave popcorn are also very unhealthy and bad for your arteries. On top of that, most corn is GMO and has traces of glyphosate.
