3 reasons why eating popcorn might not be such a great idea

1. Popcorn, even air popped, can contain significant levels of
potential cancer causing acrylamides.

2. Ruth Etzel, M.D., Ph.D, wrote in 2002 in the Journal of the
American Medical Association(JAMA) that corn is "universally
contaminated" with mycotoxins - fungal poisons.

3. According to some dentists, popcorn is one of the worst foods
in relation to periodontal health. The shards of the popcorn often
cause gum abscesses.
