Popcorn, when popped, contains a substance called acrylamide. This is formed when any starchy food is baked or fried at high temperatures. Many foods such as coffee, bread, cereal, french fries, potato chips, along with any other starchy food baked or fried at high temperatures can contain acrylamide.
Consuming popcorn can expose you to the chemical acrylamide, and is know to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to: www.P65Warning.ca.gov.
