The next time you go to the cinema and see a big bucket off pop corn. Don't feel gulity about tucking into it..it's good for you

Popcorn is the latest and most unlikely food shown to have health-boosting properties.

The traditional cinema snack contains “surprisingly large” amounts of healthy antioxidant plant chemicals called polyphenols, scientists have found.

Tests showed that the compounds account for 2.5% of popcorn kernels by weight — higher levels than were seen in a range of other cereal products. Polyphenols, also found in fruits, vegetables, chocolate, wine, coffee and tea, are known to protect the heart and reduce the risk of cancer.

US chemist Dr Joe Vinson, who made the discovery, said: “We really were surprised. In my opinion it’s a good health food.”

And I am sure they will be able to explain the salt and butter away too. Anything (except cigarettes) is good in moderation but too much of anything is not good. It's the same with lots of things.
banana beer wine frustrated (not that one either)
