The truth about microwaved popcorn... Olga Naidenko, PhD, a senior scientist for the Environmental Working Group. The chemically-saturated lining of the
bag used include a compound called perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) that, according to a recent study from UCLA, may be linked to infertility.
Microwaving vaporizes the chemicals as they move from coating the bag to
lining the popcorn. But it's not like this fact is un-acknowledged. In
fact the article points out that DuPont, as well as other manufacturers,
have "promised to phase out PFOA by 2015 under a voluntary EPA plan, but millions of bags of popcorn will be sold between now and then."
