Dr. Oz explained that the smell is actually a chemical called diacetyl, a synthetic butter flavoring added to the product. People who work in the factories developed a problem called âpopcorn lungâ from inhaling the gases with the diacetyl in it. Dr. Oz said even people who make it frequently can develop lung problems. Another problem is PFOA, a chemical that lines the bag. Dr. Oz said that 20 percent of this chemical in our bodies comes from microwave popcorn. It can cause thyroid issues, high cholesterol and bladder cancer. There is good news for popcorn lovers. Instead, put organic kernels in a brown paper bag and lay it flat in the microwave.
Later in 2002, as a result of reported workers' conditions at popcorn plants, #Hubbs et al., 2002 examined the hypothesis that airway injury in rats would result from exposure to diacetyl vapors used in microwave popcorn and other foods.
