Health Tips

Did you know popcorn is a healthy whole grain, the kind linked to lower rates of diabetes and heart disease?
It's true. And popcorn fans will love this news too:
People who eat it every day consume 250 per cent more whole grains and 22 per cent more fibre than those who don't, according to a study from the center for Human Nutrition in Omaha, Nebraska. But don't view this as a license to pig out on "loaded" popcorn at the movies or on the couch:One tablespoon of butter adds 8 grams of artery-clogging fat and 100 calories. A little oil is better-but naked, i.e. air popped corn, is best.
