Popcorn - the health food

A part of the article Pimpa dina popcorn
in the Swedish magazine Må Bra 10/2013
Popcorn are rich on polyphenols, which is a form of antioxidant (among other things told to be antiinflammatory). They are also rich on roughage (keeps your stomach to work as it should). No salt and oil, and popcorn is sheer health food, the Swedish magazine Må Bra writes. There is not very much water in popcorn; polyphenols are from this more concentrated compared to polyphenols in fruit.

I eat popcorn several days a week. It works perfect for lunch and they are not, as far as my experience tells, making me fat in the same way as crisps do. But still, there are a lot of calories in popcorn, almost as much as in crisps.
