Soda with popcorn - you'll be surprised what it does to your blood vessels
Cola and popcorn are a must-have at the cinema.
Cardiologists from the American Heart Association have shocked us with data: a combination of fructose syrup and trans fats from popcorn causes oxidative stress in blood vessels.
"It's like sandpaper for your arteries," says Dr. Marianne Walsh.
Dmitry from Rost-on-Don said:
"After a year of working at a movie theater (free coke and popcorn!) my blood pressure jumped to 170/100. The cardiologist said: the blood vessels of a 60-year-old man."
The Hypertension study confirms that those who enjoy this combination develop atherosclerosis 10 years earlier.
Alternative
Chef Jamie Oliver has created 'healthy popcorn': popped corn + ghee + sea salt + turmeric powder.
And instead of cola, water with mint and lime. Recipe from his book Super Food Family Classics .
