Popcorn Contains More AntiOxidants Than Fruit

Researchers at the University of Scranton have released findings on the healthiness of popcorn.

They found that one serving of popcorn has around 300 milligrams of antioxidants, which is nearly double the 160 milligrams found in the average serving of fruit.

Popcorn has been considered a good diet food for a long time due to it's low amount of calories. Microwave popcorn though, has twice as many calories as air popped.

Due to the additives, buttered popcorn, and movie theater popcorn is even less healthy than plain.

So keep eating that popcorn, and help yourself enjoy a healthy life.
