Diacetyl, used to produce that buttery flavor in, among other foods, microwavable popcorn, may be a cause for Alzheimer’s disease.
University of Minnesota drug-design expert Robert Vince, PhD, and colleagues found that diacetyl causes brain proteins to misfold into the Alzheimer’s-linked form called beta amyloid. Vince’s team also found that diacetyl has an architecture similar to a substance that makes beta-amyloid proteins clump together in the brain — clumping being a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.
Although other experts claim that popcorn itself can be considered a healthy food, putting the butter on it and shaking your salt pot to heavily will cancel out any nutritional benefits.

Cognitive decline, eventually leading to Alzheimer’s disease, can manifest itself in many different ways. One of the early signs may be changes in the way you walk.
In the Mayo Clinic study, researchers measured the stride length, cadence and velocity of more than 1,341 participants through a computerized gait instrument at two or more visits roughly 15 months apart. Those with lower cadence, velocity and length of stride experienced significantly larger declines in global cognition, memory and executive function.
