What makes that movie popcorn so bad for you?

Often, it's coconut oil. 90% saturated fat. I feel like coconut oil is all over the place lately, such as in a big display at the checkout counter at Whole Foods in Cambridge the other day. Coconut oil is not a healthy alternative to anything. Despite the fact that it sounds healthy.

I want to reiterate that label reading is important.

More talk about movie popcorn at Well. Also, CSPI is a great source for level-headed, evidence based advice on nutrition.

  1. It really sucks that its so bad for you, because it tastes so good. Guess I need to pick other snacks at the movies from now on.
