Is eating popcorn before going to bed bad for you in anyway ?!


Question: Yes ! The hulls of the popped corn cannot digest properly even during waking hours ! When they make their way into your intestines as undissolved hulls , they can slice and dice the walls of your intestines ! Over a period of time this is known to bring on early diverticulitis ! As the hulls cut into the linings of your intestines they create small lesions in the walls that become infected !

i dont think its bad cause my mom does it all the time when she watches her late night movies but as long as u brush after i dont see a problem no if you dont brush thts a bad thing

I get hungry at night & try different things. I think you have to figure it out yourself. Some people are allergic to corn or they eat it with a ton of butter & salt so they end up sick or if they are watching movie & not aware they are eating as much at they are it could just be the amount. Or if they do not have enough water in there system that could be a problem cause it is a high fiber food. Or if the person does not have the kind of digestive system that can handle going to sleep after eating it could cause a problem so "know thyself" is always the answer to these questions.

I cannot say I know for certain about eating POPCORN before bed is bed, but you really shouldn't eat ANYTHING right before bed. Unhealthy and does not digest as well because your body starts to shut down and go into hibernation mode when you sleep. Most of what you eat right before you sleep will turn into fat.

As for popcorn, a guess would be that it digest even slower then other foods so it would be even worse to eat. Again I am not sure about popcorn in particular....Good luck =)

Yes and so is the cake I eat at 12:00and the ice cream and on and on. I even get up in the night and go eat at 2 A.M. Wish I could stop. Weigh 130 now at 5ft 6. Tread mill here I come.

My best friend Betty has done this every night for years. she reads for an hour before her bed time. and she has a med bowl full every night. She never mention any problems from doing it..It hard to stop eating it, that would be my problem.

It's a light snack and I've had no problems. :-) Love Popcorn! Yum-O!
