I like to make my own popcorn with a hot air popper.It is simplest to “butter” the popcorn using a can of the canola, or corn spray oil. This puts a light even coat on the popcorn. I would appreciate comments as to the healthfulness of this practice. Thanks.

Back in the early 70′s I heard a Yale resident’s address containing the following: The bodies own manufactured cholesterol -within the walls of the blood vessels- needs to stay there. Stimulants temporarily constrict blood vessels, and give our brain a temporary boost in blood supply, which is actually harmful. Harmful because each time they constrict our blood vessels lose some of this natural cholesterol. This causes less elasticity(arteriosclerosis), and when the cholesterol blobs attach to the inside walls ofthe blood vessel, the cholesterol placque is called “athlerosclerosis”.
Bottom line: cut out the stimulants.
