Popcorn is healthy

Popcorn turns out to be much healthier than we thought. According to American scientists, the snack is even particularly healthy.

Popcorn and breakfast cereals both appear to have a lot of polyphenol contain a substance that protects the heart and reduces the risk of cancer † It was previously thought that grains and popcorn are mainly good for health because of the fiber, but now they appear to be even healthier because of the polyphenol.

About 2.5 percent of the weight of popcorn contains polyphenol † This is much more evident than in cereals or porridge. Many breakfast products are produced in such a way that the substance is lost. Be careful with salty and sweet popcorn, natural popcorn is of course best.
