Popcorn Secrets
Newman's Own Pop's Corn with Natural Butter Flavor has no butter.
Its fat comes from organic palm oil, which is almost as saturated as butter. That is why each serving has 4-1/2 grams of saturated fat, according to the label. That is nearly a quarter of a day's worth -- not good for what should be a fat free snack.
Pop Secret Movie Theater Butter Popcorn Snack Size Bags Popcorn cannot be belitted - it truly is a wholesome whole-grain snack...but Pop Secret ruined the benefits of pop corn in this version. These snack size bags contain 11 grams of bad-for-you fat, 7 of which are trans fat, in each snack-size bag (6 cups popped). Try Orville Redenbacher's Smart Pop or Smart Balance instead. Both of these brands are made with no partially hydrogenated oils.
Jolly Time Butter-Licious, in contrast, looks much healthier. It has only 1-1/2 grams of saturated fat in each serving. What the label does not tell you is that Jolly Time also has three grams of hidden trans fat. Add them to the saturated fat and you end up with as much heart trouble as Newman's Own.
Paul's Popcorn is not the best, but at least his label is honest.
