 My daughters will LOVE this!
Unfortunately I have irritable bowel syndrome and popcorn is a big no for me. |

BUT (and there always seems to be a but) here's the important fact to consider:
Most of the polyphenols -- about 90% -- were in the hull. The study is a good first step, but it wasn't designed to measure health benefits; the next step is to figure out how much of popcorn's polyphenols get out of the hull and into your body. Besides, remove the water from fruits (to concentrate the antioxidants) and I am sure popcorn wouldn't look so great on paper.

Agreed,
It is at least better than the empty calories once thought to be, I would assume we chew our food well so maybe we crush the hulls?
I am not suggesting anyone have popcorn instead of fresh fruit or vegetables, but as a sometimes snack, air popped and without the added butter.
I guess time will tell. |
Agreed. Except on the added butter part. Some of us think butter's good for you  |

| This is amazing. Popcorn is such a filling snack, so it's great that there's another benefit. |
