Ha! It’s the answer to the question of what part of microwave popcorn is inherently unhealthy.
Do you regularly eat the bag?
I seem to remember way-back-when, during the US-Japanese ‘discussions’ about the pros and cons of fruits grown in each country there came to be a very serious series of news articles, investigations and ‘concern’ over a chemical that was used to treat apples grown in this country. That chemical was called “Alar” IIRC and it pretty much sealed the deal for Japan not allowing import of US apples (apples which Japanese growers were getting outrageous prices for their bounty grown).
Far too late and far too little the ‘hazards’ of Alar were proven to be false.
My FIRST inclination in ANY of these cases is to ask “who stands to benefit from this?”
Take it as you will.
