4. Microwave Popcorn
Toxicologists will tell you that they that won’t eat microwave popcorn. You might be wondering why. Well, the lining of the bag contains a chemical called perflouorooctonoic acid, or PFOA.
A recent study done at UCLA shows these types of chemicals are linked to infertility in humans. Animal testing has been shown to have caused liver, pancreatic, and testicular cancer.
Microwaving the bag causes the chemicals to turn to vapor, then merge into the popcorn. These chemicals can stay in your body and accumulate for years, say researchers. Although most manufactures have said they will remove these chemicals by 2015, imagine how many millions of bags will be sold until then.
Your alternative? Make your own popcorn at home the old fashioned way, in a pan! Make it truly organic and use coconut oil instead of vegetable oils.
