Lettuce For salads
There are 4 types of green it is good to put in your salad. According to Susan Moores, from American Dietic Association the deeper the color of lettuce the more vitamins and nutrients you can get. Here are they:
Romaine - is a good source of vitamins A and C and is packed with folate, which helps prevent birth defects. It also contains the phytonutrients lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote eye health.
Arugula - One cup of this aromatic green contains 15% to 20% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A.
Spinach - Full of iron, vitamins A and C and folate, spinach is also high in the phytonutrients that may help protect against eye diseases.
Watercress - One cup provides about 20% of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C and more than 50% of Vitamin A.

Popcorns
This is one of the question i found in readers digest:
I read that the chemicals in microwave popcorn are dangerous. Are they?
You can continue to eat your favorite movie munchie without fear, says the FDA. The chemical in question is diacetyl, used to make butter flavoring. Recently, a number of factory workers who work near heated vats of the flavoring developed lung disease. This prompted an EPA study, the results of which are due later.
Diacetyl is found naturally in real butter and it's safe to eat, says George Pauli, the FDA's acting director of food additive safety. But at industrial levels, when large amounts of hot vapors containing diacetyl are breathed in for extended periods, it may damage delicate lung tissue.
Bottom line: The amount of diacetyl released from individual bags is so small that there's no evidence it poses any risk, says Pauli.
