Don't eat microwave popcorn. If you like popcorn that much, get a popper and use real butter.

Also, if the DA chemical is in margarine, it seems like that would be a much more consumed source than microwave popcorn.

What is it that gives butter its buttery flavor? Is it naturally occurring diacetyl?

I wonder if the theater chains have their insurance policies up to snuff?

Theater popcorn used to be made with real butter and popped in cocoanut oil.

Thank God the Food Nazis put an end to that.

My question is: How much Diacetyl does one have to consume to get enough to cause/enhance risk of Alzheimer’s?

I refer you to the Alar on apples will give you cancer environmentalist/natural foods folks created scare of 15 years ago. It turned out that a person had to drink 2 or 3 gallons of Alar a day for several hundred years to get enough exposure to cause cancer. Thus the apple growers lost money and some their lively hoods over a false scare made by ‘nannys who know best for us.”

I’m not concerned about this one little bit.

Why? Because the nobama-led FDA would never, ever allow bad chemicals to get near us or in us.

A bowl of margarine and butter outdoors. Ants will not touch the margarine.

It is also created naturally in fermented drinks like beer

I just read where beer helps prevent alzheimers?!?
