Hey popcorn fans! Christopher Rolfson here with a friendly reminder: the microwave popcorn you’re popping may not be as healthy as you think.

I know, I know. Microwave popcorn tastes great and it’s convenient. But, unfortunately, many brands of microwave popcorn are full of unhealthy ingredients, like trans fats and artificial preservatives.

So what can you do? Start by reading the nutrition labels. Look for popcorn made with natural ingredients and avoid any that contain trans fats or added preservatives. Also, opt for brands that are non-GMO or organic.

And, don’t forget, you can always make your own popcorn at home! You can pop it in a skillet or an air popper and season it with spices, herbs, or even nutritional yeast. It’s a delicious, healthier way to enjoy popcorn.
