5. Microwave Popcorn
Although popcorn is a great healthy snack which is high in fiber as well as other important nutrients, microwave popcorn is an entirely different story. The first problem is with the bag itself, which contains a number of harmful and questionable chemicals that undoubtedly make it into your body. The other problem is with the flavoring that microwave popcorn companies use. Again, this is filled with chemicals that are unhealthy. In fact, microwave popcorn has been associated with conditions such as tumors, Alzheimer’s disease, infertility problems, and thyroid conditions.
Instead, make popcorn the old-fashioned way and enjoy it plain, or sprinkled lightly in real butter and sea salt.
