The popcorn at Cinemark, the third-largest movie theater chain in the U.S., trumps most other movie popcorns when it comes to nutrition because it’s popped in canola oil, reports USA Today. America’s staple theater snack is typically made with coconut oil, which has the most (90%) saturated fat of any vegetable oil compared to canola oil’s 7 percent. An analysis from the Center for Science in the Public Interest found that a large popcorn from Regal or AMC theaters contains about 60 grams of saturated fat, but Cinemark’s large popcorn has only 4 grams – "the best you can expect in movie popcorn" due to the canola oil.
