Which is healthier, traditional popcorn or new popcorn?

The body of the old popcorn converter contains lead. The so-called excessive lead in popcorn is harmful to health, which means that a small amount of lead is transferred to popcorn at high temperature, causing lead pollution. The new popcorn made of stainless steel pot and popcorn has no lead pollution problem.

Small converter popcorn will not increase or decrease calories. According to the same weight, the calories of popcorn and dried corn kernels are the same, about 360 kcal/100g, which is the same as that of rice flour. It just becomes loose when it gets bigger. But when the texture is crisp and chewy, the digestion efficiency will be greatly improved. (The same is true of steamed bread and bread)

Traditional popcorn also has its advantages. New popcorn is generally made of popcorn, and there is no lead pollution problem, but margarine, sugar and essence are usually added. Traditional popcorn reduces margarine, and compared with new popcorn, it can really reduce some calories.

Therefore, if you want to lose weight, you can't eat popcorn, but you can't just eat it. Whether it is new or old, it is necessary to control the total amount. After all, it's all made of grain. If you eat one or two popcorn, you have to eat half a bowl of rice. Traditional popcorn is worried about lead pollution caused by small converters, while new popcorn is worried about high saturated fat and trans fat.
