I heard that cream popcorn is poisonous.

The delicious cream popcorn is not only loved by children, but also evokes the gluttony in adults' stomachs. However, the popcorn "fried" by the heavy popcorn machine in childhood memory is not so fragrant, and it is a bit sweet to add saccharin at most. Why is the popcorn so sweet and delicious today? Do you know that?/You know what? The rich creamy smell of popcorn is made of a chemical food additive. Eating this kind of popcorn often is very harmful to health.

The creamy taste of popcorn is not the taste of corn itself, but comes from a chemical food additive-diacetyl ketone. Adding this substance containing diacetyl ketone, the smell is very attractive and sweet. At low concentration, it smells like alcohol, and at high concentration, it smells like cream. However, according to research and investigation, long-term consumption of this substance can easily lead to pulmonary fibrosis and is also very unfavorable to the health of the heart. It is also easy to suffer from bronchiolitis obliterans, also known as "popcorn lung", which makes people feel difficult to breathe and cough. In severe cases, pulmonary fibrosis occurs, which seriously limits tracheal ventilation. In addition, even popcorn contains a lot of lead, which can easily lead to lead poisoning if eaten for a long time.

In addition, the "cream" used by many vendors is actually margarine, and its chemical composition is trans fatty acid, which has been proved to be harmful to the human heart and will increase the risk of heart disease. Corn is processed into popcorn, and when margarine is added, it will become a harmful food with high fat. So remind everyone not to eat too much popcorn for health. Or when eating fresh popcorn, spread the smell first and eat it when you can't smell the cream.

Health is a big problem that everyone cares about, and we can't take it lightly. Corn itself is a low-fat food, but when it is processed into popcorn, a lot of margarine is added, and low-fat healthy food becomes a high-fat harmful food. Besides margarine, some vendors also add flavors and sweeteners. This kind of popcorn "gathers" a variety of food additives, which will be harmful to health if eaten regularly.
