Microwave Popcorn

Filled with carcinogens, this “food” might be quick and easy, but its potential repercussions far outweigh its convenience benefits. Even if you were to find an organic version, it still wouldn’t be advisable, as microwaveable popcorn bags are coated with PFOAs, a chemical that’s been linked to cancer.

In addition to the popcorn itself, this product is often accompanied by fake butter, which contains a compound called diacetyl, which has been linked to lung disease when inhaled in large quantities.

If you’re a real popcorn lover, simply make your own. Buy plain, organic popcorn kernels at your local health market and use coconut oil or organic, full-fat grass-fed butter.
