Is popcorn the new superfood?

Go ahead and devour the whole bag. A recent study reveals that popcorn holds a more concentrated dose of healthy antioxidant polyphenols than many fruits and vegetables.

Be sure to eat the kernels in their pure form, sans add-ons like butter and salt to reap the full benefits. For more healthy ways to snack, read up on these:
