Nuts and Popcorn: OK for the Colon?

Millions of Americans who suffer from the uncomfortable intestinal disorder diverticulosis — more than half of the population will develop it in older age — have been told for decades to avoid eating popcorn, nuts, and that all-American favorite, corn on the cob, because those foods may compound the disorder. But a new study released this week suggests that these foods may not increase diverticulosis risk, and that in fact people who eat lots of nuts and popcorn have lower rates of the disease than others.

I Love My Popcorn

I am so excited to be going to the movies tonight with my kids. I can be working all day making Sugar Momma's Caramel and Cheese Corn, and still order a big bucket of Movie Theatre popcorn. I never tire of it. I love my popcorn.

One of my favorite books is The Popcorn Plus Diet - popcorn is whole grain food that's low in calories and fat and it's a complex carbohydrate. Popcorn can make a great diet food. Well,
that is, if you don't get extra butter on it like I do at the movie theatres.

The best popcorn for you is popcorn made with a Hot Air Popcorn Popper that is to say, the best popcorn with the greatest nutritional value.

Cause we all know, the best popcorn is Sugar Momma's Popcorn!
