I have been craving popcorn with coconut oil like nobody's business.....when I am back to eating, is popcorn an option? I know it is an option but is it a healthy option?
Thanks!- Re: Popcorn - Yes or No?? zipzap

This is a reply to # 1,443,824Too much corn and you'll give yourself, pellagra (vitamin B3 deficiency). Leads to the 3 D's: dementia, dermatitis, and diarrhea. Unless you treat your popcorn with lime water or an alkali substance first (nixtamalization).

It does not have to be that way...
nixtamalization

I have been doing this during corn season for four years or so now...
granted, it cannot be done with popcorn :-) But as an occasional treat, it is better than some other options.

This is a reply to # 1,443,833Isn't pellagra caused by eating corn to the exclusion of everything else? So if the rest of your diet is balanced, how could you get a pellagra-B12 deficiency? Or am I wrong and maybe the analogy is more like a carbon monoxide effect, where the B12 is rendered unassimilable? Could be, I don't know, never having been corn-fed (though I have been *called* corn fed). Either way, popcorn is one of life's main benefits!

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,443,824Yes, ORGANIC popcorn is a great source of roughage, and I have a bowl (and a big apple) several times a week before bed :)
I've NEVER heard of it causing any harm...like with all things, in moderation.
So lust on! You'll be able to dive into a bowl of popcorn soon :)
