The Washington Post just named popcorn one of Seven foods with surprising health benefits. An Aug. 5 story quotes nutrition expert Samantha M. Coogan saying, “Popcorn is a whole grain. It’s high in fiber that slows digestion, so you feel full for longer” because a three-cup serving delivers 3.5 grams of fiber — about 14 percent of the total amount you need each day — for only 91 calories. Popcorn also boasts protective antioxidants like ferulic acid that can lower blood pressure and cholesterol buildup in the arteries, which may fend off diabetes and heart disease!
