Is Popcorn Healthy? What Are The Popcorn Alternative? – Dr. Berg

Many people love popcorn and think it’s a healthy snack. But, is popcorn actually healthy or not?

hey guys dr. Berg here in this video I  want to talk about popcorn okay now a lot of people love popcorn in fact I love popcorn  in fact I used to work at a theater in making the popcorn that was last year no I’m just  kidding it was like five thirty five years ago but anyway 95% popcorn is GMO so that’s  one of the problems with popcorn popcorn is highly glycemic it turns into sugar pretty fast  it’s not good if you want to lose weight but the microwave popcorn is the worst because it  has a chemical in the butter flavoring called diacetyl and it’s been linked to a lot of bad  problems so I’ll put a link down below so you want to avoid microwaved popcorn okay now some  of you are very very upset that I’m talking about these things and you you’re not going  to give up popcorn so for those of you that want to do popcorn on a infrequent basis I want  to give you an alternative especially if you’re not trying to lose weight you know just don’t  do this it’s frequent as maybe you were doing the regular popcorn but you can take another  grain called sorghum okay you can get this anywhere you get online and you can pop it just  like popcorn sorghum is gluten-free non-gmo it has the lowest glycemic index of all the grains  okay but you can just compete yourself cook it in coconut oil and use grass-fed butter okay  in sea salt the butter will buffer some of the glycemic index but it’s a lot better than corn  as far as turning in the sugar so that’s just a quick tip but again I’m not telling everyone  can start consuming a lot of popcorn because I’m going to get some emails saying them now  I’m not losing weight because I’m eating this every single day it’s just your alternative  every so often alright thanks for watching
