From blood sugar control to lowering cholesterol: 8 surprising benefits of eating popcorn

Use a wide pot and a small amount (1–3 tbsp) of light oil to pop kernels; add salt or flavorings after cooking rather than before to control sodium and fat intake. Avoid excessive butter and salt which add saturated fats and sodium, negating health benefits. Plain or lightly seasoned popcorn is best for health.
