The Popcorn That Kills

 microwave popcorn killsWait! Don’t do that!

Are you smelling that bag of freshly nuked microwave popcorn? You should think again…for you health’s sake.

A very serious lung disorder has now been linked with doing something as innocent as smelling the aroma of freshly microwaved popcorn.

Apparently the corn producers like ConAgra have been aware


of the dangers it has posed for quite some time. They’ve even named it "popcorn worker’s lung." But this is the first time its been acknowledged in the lay public. This disorder destroys lung tissue.

The offending agent is diacetyl, which helps to give microwave popcorn that buttery flavor.  It is in several of the most popular brands, including Orville Redenbacker and Act II. Apparently there are PLANS to remove this from the popcorn, but only who knows when.

big pig I’ve been following this story for the past few weeks.

11 workers in a Minnesota pork processing plant have come down with a strange neurological ailment which is said to be due to inhaling pig brains. One stated that she’s gotten progressively weaker over the 15 years she’s worked there…but never thought that it was due to the brains. The first thing I thought was, "Don’t they just throw the heads away?" And my second more grizzly thought was, "What are doing with the brains? What are they putting pig brains in?"

“You asked for it, you’ve got it.”

I get asked all the time about various health and wellness issues, usually centering on ailments, how to treat them, and what I recommend. Just the other day, a couple of my friends put the screws to me, so to speak. Heck, they didn’t even know I had a website – “Hello…I’ve only had a site up continuously since 1996”.

That comment is for them. But they had a valid point…a truly valid point.

I come across SO many good sites that offer unique products and services that I’m testing, want to test or just want to LOG to come back and try later…especially so I won’t lose them before I can share them with you.
