 Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Thiapam. Regular non-organic corn is not recommended, nor are non-organic corn additives to foods, especially corn syrup. Fresh organic (or even “sweet” corn) or organic popcorn are fine in moderate amounts. |
 Thiapam 12 years ago | I thought corn of any kind was bad for us! |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Operagirl. Microwave popcorn can be a great snack. It is best if there is no butter flavor, for health reasons not related to weight. A serving would be about 3 cups. |
 operagirl 12 years ago | Is it OK to have the 94% fat free microwave popcorn? |
 basketball 12 years ago | Thanks for this question, I love popcorn but thought I had to illuminate it all together. |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Sparkyjo. Popcorn can be great. It is best if it is organic, of course, due to modern changes in conventional corn.
The way you prepare it sounds excellent. About 2-1/2 cups of the popcorn itself is equal to a carbohydrate exchange (like a slice of bread), and each teaspoon of oil is equal to a fat exchange. |
 Sparkyjo 12 years ago | Hello,
Is popcorn healthy? I like to pop the Amish variety with a tablesoon of olive oil and cayenne pepper. Would love to know if this is sabotaging my healthy eating and weight loss. Thanks.
