SICK PEOPLE FROM POPCORN

THERE IS A BIG OUT BREAK OF PEOPLE GETTING SICK AND ILL FROM A ADDITIVE IN THE BUTTERY FLAVOR THAT IS USED ON POPCORN. IF YOU MAKE YOUR OWN YOU ARE SAFE JUST DO NOT PURCHASE THE BUTTER FLAVOR TO SPRINKLE ON THE POPCORN AS IT HAS A SUBSTANCE CALLED DIACETYL WHICH IS IN ALL BUTTER FLAVORED PACKETS TO USE ON POPCORN. THE CULPRIT IS THE DIACETYL ADDED IN THE FLAVORING . MANY WORKERS WHO ARE EXPOSED TO THE FLAVOR IN MANUFACTURING OF HTIS FLAVOR AND HAVE BEEN SCREENED FOR LUNG PROBLEMS AND CONGESTION OF THE LUNGS/ ALL IT TAKES IS TO WORK AROUND THE POPCORN BEING MADE, AND THEN INHALING THE FUMES FROM IT.  MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ILL FROM THIS ADDITIVE, AND CALLS FOR ITS INVESTIGATION ARE FINALLY GETTING THRU TO THE FDA. SO MAKE YOUR OWN POPCORN AT HOME AND USE SALT IF YOU LIKE WITH OR WITHOUT BUTTER. I BRING THIS TO ALL YOU MOVIE GOER'S ATTENTION  BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE THE CONCENTRATION OF DIACETYL IS HIGHEST IN POPCORN. I NEVER WAS ABLE TO EAT THE NEW TYPE FLAVORED POPCORN DUE TO A BAD STOMACH ACHE LATER.I AM SO CONCERNED THAT THIS INFO GETS OUT TO ALL READERS AS THEY NOW HAVE NAMED IT POPCORN LUNG, AND THERE ARE MANY RISKS WITH THE POPCORN LUNG AND IT CAN DEFINITELY KILL YOU IF YOU ARE SUSCEPTABLE TO THE FLAVOR. THERE ARE A LOT OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS FILED MANY BY WORKERS WHO WERE EXPOSED TO THE CHEMICAL ALONE WHILE MIXING  BATCHES OF IT. TAKE THIS TO HEART AND I WISH GOOD HEALTH TO ALL CRYSTAL CHRISTIAN

This kinda "old" news ain't it? Wasn't the first report of a person possibly having "popcorn lung" around September in 2007? And I think he was eating about two bags a day. And I think when his microwave was tested, it had similar levels of that stuff as they find in an actual popcorn mfg. plant. Does make you wonder.
I think there were studies conducted back in 2001 that linked the disease and the chemical.

Most all of these cases were people who "inhaled" more of the chemical fumes than just a bag of popcorn.

The CDC has stated that people who make food flavorings are at just as much risk as a popcorn worker. So, what about the food flavorings we eat? I know the butter flavoring is a culprit, but are there any others?

Try using lowercase. It is easier to read.

Everbody is going to die from something. I think I would prefer "Popcorn Lung" to being hit by a bus..
