Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Okay, this was easy. First, it's not sarcoidosis. It's a rare disease seen previously in workers at popcorn plants. Apparently, a chemical vapor is released when the flavored popcorn is heated. Lots of controversy about the chemical, different brands, etc. Anyway, this is the first known case of a consumer with it. After opening the heated bag of popcorn, he inhaled deeply because he loved the smell! You can read the entire article, which is quite interesting, at this link: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/05/us/05popcorn.html?ex=1204603200 & en=7a04f596261e6090 & ei=5087 & excamp=GGHLpopcornlung Just shows how many toxins, irritants, triggers, etc. are out there. Who knows what might trigger sarc in any one of us? Ramblin' Rose Moderator A merry heart is good medicine.

I just saw an article in the paper today about someone who developed a "lung disease" from cooking microwave popcorn. This case was reported from National Jewish in Denver. They didn't say what the lung disease was, but I know they treat a lot of sarc. Apparently this person cooked buttered popcorn several times a day for an extended period of time. The spokesman for National Jewish said they couldn't find another source for the disease. I'm going to have to do some digging, see if I can find out some more. Meanwhile, don't microwave buttered popcorn several times a day! Ramblin' Rose Moderator A merry heart is good medicine.

A & E network is showing a 1 Hour show about The World Tradetowers on 911. Having seen reports of people who had been at GroundZero that day later developing Pulmonary Sarcoidosis, I thought thisshow may of some interest.I have been enjoying the first summer in a while (11 years) that Ihave been able to see clearly. My dx of n-sarc had left me withretinal scarring, (That was corrected w\ surgery left eye August1996), and the prednisone had left me with cataracts in both eyes (hadcataract surgery left eye April this year). I realized in may thisyear (having recovered from the cataract surgery) how nice it is to beable to see the dinner I am eating from the plate right in front of me... always a good thing, eh ?Regards to allMike Get a FREE small business Web site and more from Microsoft® Office Live!
