Top 10 Best Popcorn Makers In 2017

Everybody loves popcorn! Cheap, delicious and very easy to make at home with your own best popcorn maker. Popcorn can be a great snack to have in-between meals, and while watching a movie or TV show. Popcorn is a relatively healthy snack unless, of course, you put too much butter and salt on it. If you’re still eating microwave popcorn, listen up. Most microwave popcorn is made with artificial flavoring, like MSG, (you don’t buy Chinese food with MSG anymore) and, believe it or not, beaver anal glands. Yes, beaver butt! And, even the bags that microwave popcorn comes in is bad for you. The bags are lined with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). That chemical can stay in your body for a long time. It’s been linked to cancer, infertility and other diseases. In fact, the EPA lists this substance as a carcinogen.
