Most popcorn is harmful to the body in numerous ways. GMO corn, seed oil, flavorings, and the ever popular "butter" (partially hydrogenated canola oil with artificial flavoring),
Table Salt:
"The most commonly used salt–and the one that gives all salt a bad name–is table salt, highly refined and processed into almost pure sodium chloride. Somehow, we’ve bought into the myth that the addition of iodine makes table salt safer. Iodine was first added to salt in the 1920s as part of a government initiative adopted to combat iodine deficiency stemming from a lack of mineral rich soil and iodine enriched foods available for consumption."
“Commonly purchased iodized salts, available at super markets or sitting on the table of your favorite restaurant, have synthetic chemicals added to them. These chemicals include everything from manufactured forms of sodium solo-co-aluminate, iodide, sodium bicarbonate, fluoride, anti-caking agents, toxic amounts of potassium iodide and aluminium derivatives. It may come as a shock, but most table salt is not only unhealthy, but can sometimes be toxic.” (Dr. Edward Group
Know what you ingest.
All popcorn varieties are non-gmo so far.
We should have been getting sufficient iodine from our dairy intake, but apparently they screwed up natural cow food badly enough that clearly that part went wrong. So now, we must get seaweed or iodine drop solution on our own. Also, always look for deal on Himalayan pink salt or other good mineral-rich salts when possible.
Edit: he doesn't mention popping it in coconut oil, rich in MCTs. Lots of good fats out there!
All this applies to any food. Yes, GMO anything is bad. Seed oils are bad. Table salt is bad. Sugar is bad.
Does it mean you cannot get non-GMO corn kernels and make your own pop corn in a pot on a stove, with your own butter, black/pink salt and enjoy it?
Of course you can, and I hope people who have woken up to the nutrition and health lies already do this with all their food.
No popcorn is GMO
Table salt is the only sodium source that causes an issue.
