Popcorn ingredient found to be linked with Alzheimer's

Yikes, some people need to chill on the aggression. Ever heard of trying to make light of a difficult situation? For me it's a better coping mechanism than getting angry. I could tell you an anecdote about a friend and me playing darts, but it's a digression from the original point of this thread.

On the subject of the thread, if I listened to everything that scientists said was bad for me I would have probably starved to death long ago. Then again, I do approach certain areas of my life with a certain reckless abandon.

Conclusion: I could have expected the scientists to tell me that it was probably bad for me, but that isn't going to stop me eating it.

Did any of you read even the first sentence? (Or did you already forget what it said? Ha.) Popcorn itself is fine, it's just the fake-butter stuff they put on cheap microwave brands. It's in other processed foods too besides popcorn. Geez. Popcorn is one of the healthier "snack" foods you can eat.
