erf? "popcorn workers disease"?

[ellisdsme]

So I just found this article, a couple days out dated, saying that eating too much buttered popcorn is dangerous to your health...duh! artery clogging goodness? NO, apperently you can get a lung disease, bronchiolitis obliterans or “popcorn workers’ lung,” by inhaling vaporised diacetyl, the chemical that makes it taste so good. Some 53 yr old guy

heh, i'd like to see the medical findings on someone who did the same thing, only with spam.

spam! a magical mystery meat. eating 2x a day will either kill you or give you superhuman powers!!! my money's on the latter ;)

Didn't the article say 'several' times a day? At least the one I read did. And it was the 'super mega ultra movie butter' flavor. I'll switch to light butter or the 'natural' flavor and add my own from now on. But just think, if it hurts you to BREATHE it, wouldn't it hurt you to EAT it too?
