The only issue with popcorn is the same as eating corn on the cob. It is loaded with sugar and a diabetic needs to watch the number of grams consumed.

Popcorn is 75% carbohydrate, but has almost no sugar (0.3g/28g serving), or about 1% by weight. In other words, you'd have to consume nearly 6lb of popcorn to get 1oz of sugar.

For comparison, there's 19g of sugar in an apple and nobody's going to argue that apples are good for you. That's enough that I couldn't eat any apples at all when I did a low-carb diet and I bloody love apples.

Sugar is a carb and why we aren't allowed to eat most fruits and many veggies. No root veggies but what the hell I cheat on the veggies.

Thanks. As a diabetic you count carbs and on the list of not allowed to consume is corn. I know that corn is used to make sugary corn syrup hence why I said sugar instead of carbs

Agree. Yuk
My diabetic cat is with me on the popcorn so doesn't have this tussle.

Starch can be broken down into pure glucose, but other complex carbohydrates typically include some glucose and then other sugars such as fructose, galactose, and xylose.
