Popcorn’s reputation as a snack food that’s actually good for your health popped up a few notches when scientists reported that it contains more of the healthful antioxidant substances called “polyphenols” than fruits and vegetables. Joe Vinson, PhD, professor of chemistry at the University of Scranton, explained that the polyphenols are more concentrated in popcorn, which averages only about 4 percent water, while polyphenols are diluted in the 90 percent water that makes up many fruits and vegetables. In another surprising finding, the researchers discovered that the hulls of the popcorn — the part that everyone hates for its tendency to get caught in the teeth — actually has the highest concentration of polyphenols and fiber.

If you’re a single woman thinking about cutting your hair really short, think again. A university study (in Hungary) found men overwhelmingly prefer long hair to short hair. Researchers think this may have something to do with the idea that long hair means good genes since it take years to grow healthy, long hair.

Jack Black has some ideas for future ‘Mario’ movies. After “The Super Mario Bros. Movie’s” record-breaking opening at the box office over the weekend, Black has nominated “The Last of Us” star Pedro Pascal to take over as the villain in a potential sequel, following Black’s turn as the voice of ‘Bowser’. In an interview, he explained that “it’s not a given” that Bowser will be back for a future installment. Black also appeared to be open to having Bowser switch over to the good side and team up with Mario to take on another villain, like ‘Wario’.
Amanda Bynes has been released from a mental hospital more than 3 weeks after being admitted for treatment. She was released this week from the facility in Southern California after both Bynes and the medical staff determined she was ready to get back to her day-to-day life. She’ll start outpatient treatment to make sure she stays on the right path, working with doctors and specialists for the help she needs moving forward. Last month, Bynes was spotted naked and roaming the streets of downtown Los Angeles in the early morning.

If you want to save money, a good way to start is by not buying food you won’t eat. It sounds like a no-brainer, but in the U.S. the average family of four spends between $500 to $2,000 per year on food that gets thrown away. Vegetables are the worst culprit, making up 25 percent of avoidable waste. In all, 33 million tons of food ends up in U.S. landfills and incinerators each year. How does a family stop wasting up to $2,000 per year? Researchers found if shoppers don’t bring along a thoughtful list to the grocery store, many will overestimate how much they actually need to buy.
