It won't taste the same, and will probably be pretty disgusting. The butter after the corn pops serves mainly as taste enhancer. If you don't like butter, it is not a necessary part of the corn.

The problem is that when popping corn in electrical machines it turns out very dry and the salt falls off. This is why I reverted to a pot on the stove... Using very little oil is enough, and it tastes great even without the butter at the end.

The only type of oil that you can really eat is olive oil.  Both are unhealthy and I have no idea which is more unhealthy... but I would not put something like vegetable oil or corn oil on top of your popcorn. If you don't like the butter, just try eating without anything on it.  Maybe some salt.

In my day job I write about Blood Pressure Treatment and treat those who suffer from blood pressure problems. Low blood pressure is a particular interest and I'm often asked about how to lower cholesterol levels. A healthy heart is becoming a huge focus for many of us nowadays. Improving your blood pressure control and thus the health of your heart and circulation system is really important. My most recent online "adventure" is to start a facility for people to ask me my opinion and to provide high quality health information by answering medical questions online.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also have a special interest in the problem of feeling Tired All the Time and in those who suffer from chronic fatigue or lethargy. This seems to tie in also to skin care issues or skin treatment problems and suggestions. Tiredness and fatigue can lead to major problems for many individuals in modern society and the way that this can affect all areas of general health can be quite invasive in terms of daily life and coping skills.

My work with footballers and athletes leads to a focus on Painful Shoulder conditions and on the problems associated with frozen shoulder or whiplash injury. Rotator cuff injury causes problems for many of my patients.

When not working I daydream about my next amazing european vacation trip  My favorite European cities include Paris and Barcelona and my next blog project will be to write about the best way to spend a night in Paris and how to find an apartment in Barcelona. I just love European travel in all its forms.

Try this trick.....Spray the popcorn with Butter Flavored Pam.  It ads no calories but gives it that butter flavor.  Learned this trick from Johns Hopkins Hospital at a Healthy Heart Seminar.
