“I said to him, ‘This is a very weird question, but bear with me. But are you around a lot of popcorn?’ ” Dr. Rose asked. “His jaw dropped and he said, ‘How could you possibly know that about me? I am Mr. Popcorn. I love popcorn.’ ”
The man told Dr. Rose that he had eaten microwave popcorn at least twice a day for more than 10 years.
“When he broke open the bags, after the steam came out, he would often inhale the fragrance because he liked it so much,” Dr. Rose said. “That’s heated diacetyl, which we know from the workers’ studies is the highest risk.”
So, a study has now shown that too much microwave popcorn is bad for you. This further promotes my theory that too much of anything is bad for you. However, as some people can't seem to agree with this theory, they keep having to prove it systematically with regards to everything that ever existed.
It seems Popcorn Worker's Lung is common in workers at popcorn plants, but less popular everywhere else because most people realize that popcorn twice a day is bad news.
I have another theory on health, which is this: People die. People who eat as healthfully as possible, exercise, don't smoke, don't drink, etc... die. And I bet they feel really silly lying in the hospital, dying from nothing. Remember, diet is just 'die' with a 't' on it.
(dying from nothing line is some comedian's that I heard on Launchcast but I don't remember the name - Red Foxx maybe? I don't know - he's black though, because he said the 'n' word and wasn't shot.)
