Diacetyl is a chemical used to the popcorn its buttery taste. There is also a natural chemical in the butter. When inhaled in vapor form (for heating), which can accumulate in the lungs, causing bronchiolitis obliterans among workers in the factory.
I've heard that has natural diacetyl, the same chemical composition as the artificial diacetyl. Does this mean that also in organic popcorn, popcorn or not to dive into some of the negative effects include, albeit subtle?
The intensity of exposure as necessary to the damage at all? From the lungs can not defend themselves against the risk or frequent that they deliver every breath seasoned butter permanent damage?

Hello Chaucer.This is that what I found.
First diacetyl should be avoided by all consumers of popcorn. ConAgra committed to the parent company of Orville Redenbacher and ACT II, immediately withdraw the chemical from their popcorn with artificial butter flavor. However, we must look at the labels of popcorn that we intend to purchase to ensure they do not contain diacetyl.
Second, the good news is that all forms scar tissue from the body's response to that chemical. In the same way that not everyone is allergic to the same environmental factors that can not be all on our bodies, where the evolution of lung injury diacetyl. In other words, why try to fate by inhalation of fumes, which damaged a small number of people?
Thirdly, it seems that prolonged exposure to diacetyl, require a high risk of popcorn lung. So if you're not a lunatic popcorn bags (several times per year to the day after eating), the risk is very low, although in the past that you ate the pop of microwave Used toCorn with the chemical.
Hope this helps (^_^)
