Wow, I guess it's a good thing I don't eat that very much--I think I still have bags left over from over 2 years ago!

Hee hee, me, too - I have a Costco box of popcorn that I've probably not touched ... in at least 2 years! ;)

But, this is really scary. :( I hate thinking about all the chemicals we consume without knowing about them.

I'll forward this to my mom-- she loves microwave popcorn and almost always eats a bag a week :(
