Popcorn Packed With Health Benefits

Popcorn is not just tasty. According to a new study, it has some major health benefits too. So snack away and don’t feel guilty!

FOX News Radio’s Bill Vitka reports:

Popcorn is not just a companion at the movies. It is chockablock with antioxidants, which means it has properties that can help protect against cancer, heart disease and others.

Popcorn’s healthy part is the hull, not the white, fluffy stuff.

Popcorn is no substitute for fruit, according to the study authors. But the new findings, conducted at the University of Scranton, say that as a food low in calories and high in fiber, it may be the perfect snack.

Just don’t drown it in butter and salt.
