That’s why health experts have been trying to figure out whether PFCs are related to cancer or other diseases.
PFCs have been so widely used that about 98 percent of Americans already have this chemical in their blood.
When you eat the popcorn, they get into your bloodstream and can remain in your body for a long time. These chemicals make their way into the popcorn when you heat them up. The trouble with PFCs is that they break down into perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a chemical that’s suspected to cause cancer. PFCs resist grease, making them ideal for preventing oil from seeping through popcorn bags. 7/10.The possible link between microwave popcorn and cancer isn’t from the popcorn itself, but from chemicals called perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) that are in the bags. If not, it's still a fascinating look at a misunderstood sector of the industry. If you're a fan of exploitation movies, this is indispensable viewing. The men in this movie, rather, are proud of what they did and speak with great joy of their days on the circuit. Granted, most of the films were laughably bad by modern standards, and one can only speculate on the quality of the materials these hucksters were dealing, but the surviving promoters certainly show no shame.
This subtlety is usually lost on modern viewers of these movies, especially "bad movie" fans who often cry, "What were they thinking?" This film goes a long way toward answering that question. In almost all instances, the movies were there to help sell other products, not to stand on their own. The promoters would use the films to excite, titillate, and often panic their crowds, then sell books and other materials dealing with the topic. 'Maniac', for example, ostensibly deals with mental illness, 'Mom and Dad' with teen pregnancy, 'Reefer Madness' with drug use. Most of the films under consideration dealt with some taboo issue that excited the public's interest and (often morbid) curiosity. Rather, 'Sex and Buttered Popcorn' highlights the promoters of these films, complete with reminiscences from many of the top exploitation producers. Though this documentary does provide ample footage of legendary films like 'Mom and Dad', 'Maniac', and 'Reefer Madness', its aim is not to provide artistic criticism (which, given the quality of these movies, is a wise choice). This film chronicles the exploitation film business of the '30s and '40s.
