I eat popcorn at least 5 days a week. My recipe calls for making it on the stove top with canola oil, although if I am feeling decadent I will use a 50-50 mixture of canola and butter.  In fact, I eat so much popcorn that I buy it in 50 pound bags from Sam’s Club which saves me over 90% off the price of those tiny bags you buy at the grocery store. Now finally, the health benefits of my popcorn fanaticism have been proven. We always knew that popcorn is a good source of fiber, but according to a study performed by the American Chemical Society and excerpted in Medical News Today, popcorn “contains surpisingly large amounts of healthful antioxidant substances called polyphenols,  which have become renowned for their potential role in reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.” So, pop the fifth season of Rescue Me into the DVD player (it comes out on on September 1), pop up a big batch of popcorn, and extend your healthy life while watching Denis Leary ruin his.
