Does microwave popcorn healthy ? because i read that may cause cancer thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No cancer: Microwaving pop corn or any other food will not cause cancer. Just do not add too much fat to the popcorn. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
