    Answer:
Popcorn is a wholesome, fun food which aids digestion by providing necessary fiber. Popcorn is regarded as an excellent mealtime complement--sugar-free, fat-free and low in calories.
  • The National Cancer Institute (NCI) suggests fiber in the diet to reduce the risk of some forms of cancer.
  • The American Dietetic Association recommends popcorn as a high fiber snack food in their list of "10 Great Ways to Fiber Up!"
  • The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research lists popcorn as a smart, low/no-sugar snack.
  • The American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association permit popcorn as a starch exchange on weight-control diets, and the Feingold Diet for hyperactive children permits popcorn because it contains no artificial additives.

The experts agree. Popcorn is all-around "good" food-healthy, economical and tasty.

A NOTE OF SAFETY: While Popcorn is a healthful and delicious snacking choice when prepared with low-fat ingredients, it is never recommended for infants or toddlers, as the kernels pose a (choking) threat to their safety (American Academy of Pediatrics).
