There’s no way that more than a few people eat enough microwave popcorn for that to be true.

Here is a video about human consumption of PFAs made by Veritaserum. This is where I initially heard about how bad microwave popcorn is for you. Information about popcorn starts at around 40 minutes.

Thank you for sharing, that was an excellent video.
Also appreciate the edit; it’s amazing how much of a difference those little words make.
Biggest objection to that angle for me is “well I never eat microwave popcorn” makes it too easy to dismiss the problem.
I’d still bet that “groundwater contamination” (or “drinking water contamination” from manufacturing is the single largest source for almost anyone, but it looks like microwave popcorn is shockingly high when it comes to food and food packaging.
