Nothing unhealthy about popcorn. It's a perfect food. Only get into trouble when you begin to add stuff like butter. Very healthy stuff.
When made on the stove, and not in the microwave, there is no need to add a lot of oil. One or two tablespoons is more than enough. I only use olive oil, NOT extra virgin, it's the slutty stuff with lots of taste, so it almost has flavor like butter popcorn but without the fat and cholesterol. A sprinkle of salt and I'm good to go!
