The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services announced guidelines for healthier lifestyles.  Their publication Dietary Guidelines for Americans provides information and advice for choosing a nutritious diet.  Among its recommendations is to make the most of each calorie you consume, choosing “good-for-you” foods, like whole grains.  Whole grains are “good” carbs, complex carbohydrates.  They provide an important dietary need.  Unlike refined grains which have their germ and bran layers removed in processing, popcorn retains dietary fiber and can play a key role in keeping your body healthy.

Studies have shown that whole grains may help reduce the risk of developing many major diseases including heart disease, cholesterol, diabetes, and certain cancers.  Fiber rich whole grains grab onto toxins as they make their way through the digestive system.  Popcorn supplies your body with needed nutrients.

Popcorn is a whole grain food which means it is a high quality carbohydrate source that is low in calorie and a good source of fiber.  When it comes to snack foods, popcorn is a healthy, great tasting choice.
