Why is the popcorn in a movie theater better than the one popped in a small iron pot on the street? The secret is in the oil. Movie theaters often use coconut oil to make popcorn, which is not only bigger but also more flavorful.
But it's the coconut oil that's the problem. "I don't know if you've read this, but the reason why chips and fries last for years is that the microorganisms that make food go bad can't get on the chips, and they can't get on the chips, and they can't get on the chips. I don't know if you've read, but the reason why things like chips stay good for years is because the microorganisms that make food "go bad" can't survive on chips, and that's because they're fried in oils that are high in saturated fatty acids. The coconut oil we just mentioned is 90% saturated.
Everyone knows that too much saturated fatty acid increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is why the Consumer Reliable Nutrition Association of the United States (CRNUSA) recommends a daily intake of 20 grams, but a large popcorn (about 160 grams) contains 60 grams of saturated fatty acids, which exceeds the recommended amount by a factor of three.... ...and that's just for snacking on a movie.
In addition, flavorings such as butter and caramel are added to popcorn to make it taste better. This makes the calories in the popcorn skyrocket, with one large popcorn containing 1,200 calories, more than two Big Macs.
After all this, do you think popcorn can still be considered a "healthy snack" - with or without antioxidants?
