I like to eat air-popped popcorn (plain) a few times a week. I have read conflicting articles that say good and bad things about popcorn consumption. Are there any negative effects on the digestive system from eating it several times a week?

No food is perfect for everyone. I love popcorn, but my friend cannot eat it because she has diverticulitis. She also cannot have sweets (diabetes). She must also avoid all foods made with gluten (wheat products) because she has Celiacs -- an ingredient most of us think of as the "staff of life." I can't have aspartame because I have an allergy to it -- an ingredient that allows my friend to experience sweetness without a diabetic reaction. Only you know for sure how popcorn benefits your body. As my dear departed grandmother used to say, "Everything in moderation is the best rule."

It's not necessarily bad for the digestive system, I haven't heard anything about negative long term effects from eating it...but some people do have a hard time digesting it. As long as it seems to agree with you when you eat it, you should be fine. Making sure you chew it well should help eliminate any chance for a problem as well.

no. actually popcorn is great for the digestion system.
just like regular corn. it passes swiftly through and does not break up and leave a mess. its perfect for a late night snack too.

I also love popcorn and I hope it is not bad. I think it would probably be hard on your intestinal system if you did not chew it enough but other than that I believe it is just fine~

Plain popcorn is a very healthy snack ... it's roughage , keeps you moving ...is actually good for your digestive tract. You are getting bad advice ... look it up.

Corn lacks some amino acids but a balanced diet will even things out.

No, it is made from corn. Inside of corn there is a lot of fiber. If anything it should be helping!
