Popcorn: the new antioxidant?

By Mark Fisher | Friday, August 21, 2009, 11:42 AM

Could popcorn be the next “rich-in-antioxidants” craze?

Check out this story from ABC News entitled “Popcorn a hidden source of antioxidants, study says”, which may make you feel a little better about that big bowl of popcorn you’re munching on. Assuming, of course, you haven’t drowned your popcorn in butter and salt, which I have a habit of doing (oh, but it does taste good that way, doesn’t it?)

The story is based on a study unveiled this week by the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, and the PR folks from Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn wasted no time in trumpeting the findings in an email sent to food reporters, saying that Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn is “100 percent whole grain.” Which, we presume, other popcorn brands are as well.

Still, a bit of good news for us snackers …
