Street head "converter" popcorn;

Because the "converter" contains lead, a certain amount of lead in the pot will melt when heated at high pressure, and some lead will turn into steam and lead smoke, polluting raw materials, especially in the most "explosive" moment, lead is more likely to be adsorbed on loose rice flowers. When lead is absorbed by the human body, it will harm the nervous system, hematopoietic system and digestive system, and it is easy to cause chronic lead poisoning, which can also lead to children's loss of appetite, diarrhea, irritability, purple gums, decreased resistance and slow growth and development.

Popcorn heated by microwave oven:

The fragrance emitted contains a substance called diacetyl. A small amount of this substance is not harmful to human body, but if it is often exposed to excessive amounts of this substance, it will definitely bring health hazards to human body.

When processing popcorn, some vendors will add a lot of margarine to make it sweeter. Director Ju Juan said that the trouble with margarine is that it contains trans fatty acids, which can easily lead to obesity and endanger cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.

Experts remind consumers that when using microwave oven to heat popcorn at home, they should stay away from the heating area for at least two meters. After heating, it is best to open the packaging bag and put it in a ventilated place to give off the smell before eating.
