Yes - if it is air popped and not smothered in butter and salt. It has low calories. Here's a clip from a website:
It's hard to believe a snack food that tastes so good can actually be good for you! With suggestions from organizations such as the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the American Dental Association (ADA) and the American Dietetic Association (ADA), there's no doubt popcorn is a perfectly sensible snack to fit into any meal/fitness plan.
Popcorn contains fiber, providing roughage the body needs in the daily diet.
Popcorn is low in calories -- only 31-55 calories in one cup of unbuttered, and when lightly buttered, one cup still only has 133 calories.
Popcorn has no artificial additives or preservatives, and is sugar-free.
Popcorn contains energy-producing carbohydrates.
Popcorn is ideal for between meal snacking since it satisfies and doesn't spoil an appetite.
Popcorn inspires creativity. While there's no doubt hot buttered popcorn is pleasing to any palate, popcorn also can be enjoyed when combined with seasonings, spices and other foods like raisins, fruit and cheese providing a nutritious, delicious snack.

Without butter or salt, popcorn can be a very healthy snack.

Why would you POP corn....do you think anybody will care after all Jimmy CRACKED corn and nobody cared!!!
Actually Yes popcorn is healthy for you as long as you don't place tons of salt and butter on it. However, the kernalls that don't pop all the way are not as healthy.

Generally popcorn is pretty healthy but beware of trans-fats (partially hydrogenated oils) in packaged popcorn.

It is healthy. And if you use coconut oil instead of butter and light salt it there are no extra carbs. And very few calories per cup added. And it's yummy.

Yes---if hot air popped with "buttery spray", or the 100 calorie pop micro bags.
It's when you add so much oil, butter & salt that it becomes unhealthy.
It is a GREAT diet tool, when you want to "fill in the holes" between meals.

Yes, if its not salted its great for you and if it is its still pretty good for you if you don't eat a lot of it.
