What is Bronchiolitis Obliterans or Popcorn Lung?
Bronchiolitis Obliterans or Popcorn Lung is a rare and life-threatening form of non-reversible obstructive lung disease in which the bronchioles (small airway branches) are plugged with granulation tissue. Q: How is it caused? A: Popcorn Lung is caused by exposure to Diacetyl, the chemical used in butter flavoring in microwave popcorn and other food products. People affected by the toxicity of this chemical have developed shortness of breath, hardening of the lung tissue, and other serious respiratory symptoms. The damage cannot be reversed by eliminating the exposure to Diacetyl. The most serious cases of popcorn lung are life threatening and require a lung transplant.
