Yes, but he ate two bags of popcorn a day. I'd ahve problems if I slathered my body in Vaseline morning and night, or ate a pound of carrots at every meal. Everything in moderation. Seriously!

Jennarenn: Including moderation! ;)
Actually the illness is documented among those who work in microwave-popcorn processing plants. I think this guy was the first person who didn't work with the chemicals in the course of his job, who got the illness. (IIRC)

How about this bit from c_b's Wiki link:
"Bronchiolitis obliterans is sometimes confused in the public mind with bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP), a completely different pulmonary disorder."
Keeps me awake at night, that does.
