Taboos on eating popcorn

The street-style converter-style popcorn pot is relatively backward. The pot contains lead. When heated under high pressure, a certain amount of lead in the popcorn pot will melt, and part of the lead will turn into steam and lead smoke, polluting the raw materials. Especially at the last moment of "popping", lead is more likely to be adsorbed on the loose popcorn. When lead is absorbed by the human body, it will harm the nervous, hematopoietic and digestive systems. Chronic lead poisoning is very likely to occur, and can cause children to have a decreased appetite, diarrhea, irritability, purple gums, decreased resistance, and slow growth and development. In addition, some popcorns also add a lot of saccharin, which is not good for the body. Therefore, parents should not let children eat this type of popcorn often.

In order to make the popcorn taste more attractive, a lot of margarine is added to the popcorn during processing. Some flavors of popcorn also add some flavors. In order to make the popcorn more beautiful, some pigments are added. Margarine brings us extra energy and trans fatty acids. Extra energy will make obesity closer to us. Trans fatty acids will reduce high-density lipoprotein in the body, increase low-density lipoprotein, and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Excessive intake of artificial pigments may cause children to develop ADHD.
