*From the [https://www.cdc.gov/os/wewerethere/diacetyl/index.html Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]: "In 2000, a physician reported that eight former microwave-popcorn factory workers had developed a rare and disabling lung disease, bronchiolitis obliterans. Four of the eight workers were ill and put on lung transplant waiting lists. After investigating numerous possible sources, researchers ultimately determined the cause of lung damage: a vapor from butter flavoring added to the popcorn." | |||
