At first I was expecting to read that it was the microwaved popcorn

itself that was the problem, which wouldn't have surprised me.

Then that it would *eating* the artificial butter flavour, which

wouldn't be a great surprise either.

But no, it's breathing the butter flavouring in that killed and

maimed people. And whaddya know - that doesn't surprise me either!!

Cos I just read about a couple of guys that went into an aspartame

factory without the mandatory breathing protection. One is now dead

and one has permanent lung damage. Urban myth? Maybe, but this new

story lends some credence to it.

How many other artifical flavourings are toxic topically as well as

taken internally? Or maybe the real question is - how many are not?

Deb,

Great post. My husband used to think I was a nut case about stuff like this.

Well over the course of 23 years of marriage he is now coming over to my way of

thinking.

All those additives are really awful. If more people ate real food and then went

back and ate some of the awful stuff they would be surprised how artificial they

really taste.
