Popcorn lunch is a condition caused by diacetyl, an artificial butter flavoring that was commonly used in popcorn. Popcorn lung, or constrictive bronchiolitis, is a lung disease that clogs the bronchioles with granulation tissue. Thos who suffer from popcorn lung experience a severe shortness of breath, dry coughing and wheezing. The effects of the disease are irreversible and often lead to a lung transplant.
Wayne Watson of Denver has popcorn lung, and he blames the local grocery store.
Watson, a microwave popcorn lover, claims that the diacetyl in the microwave popcorn he eats regularly caused his dangerous condition. He is suing Kroger and to of it’s divisions.
According to a Kroger spokeswoman, the company will not comment on lawsuits.
