Popcorn

Submitted by Nancy on September 11, 2007 - 17:11.

In our house we use extra virgin organic coconut butter to pop our porcorn and lots of it. The way that it works with your metabolism and thyroid in my opinion makes a ususally fattening snack almost a calorie-burner. After doing some research in the past, the debate is still there but the saturated fats in tropical oils that are processed correctly are not as hard on the body as other saturated fats.

The smell in the house after we pop it is reminisent of the old days when they popped popcorn in the theaters in coconut butter (unfortunately hydrogenated at the time.) But the smell and the taste is out of this world!

Reviews

Just a note to let you know how much I appreciate your newsletter. As a fellow health care provider (optometrist) and medical researcher, I find your distillation of the literature into lay terms to be accurate and very understandable. I really enjoyed your contribution regarding macular degeneration. Keep up the good work.- Kristine Erickson, OD, PhD, FAAO

I get a lot of e-mailed newsletters and yours is the only one I read thoroughly from top to bottom. Your advice is enlightening, educational, easy to follow and it works! Thank you so much for all that you offer.- Lisa Abramovic

Thanks for your excellent health newsletter. I look forward to it every week. Thanks for providing the best online health resource I have found.- Moorea Maguire, M.A.

I thank you and your staff for such a great website. I am former National Level Bodybuilder so I know a thing or two about health and fitness. Your site is very valuable and I do my best to pass it on to friends and people I train. It is also a helpful resource in my career as a human service provider working with clients who need to recover from substance abuse. I believe a major part of recovery is getting your body and mind feeling healthy and strong. Thank you again! Great Website! - Michael Christopher, MSW
