@natalunasans – From what I understand, at least, that usually has more to do with the cumulative damage building up and catching up to you over time. Definitely feeling that more with some joint/muscle garbage myself by now.

Not so much that your gums, etc. will actually get more fragile over time. I guess that could be possible in some cases, but otherwise that part doesn’t seem to have changed for me at least.

Currently trying and probably failing to convince myself that I don’t really need a 4-lb tub of popcorn. (The smallest amount of anything close to a “hulless” variety I could find without paying for international shipping.)

And I had to get amused at some of the reviews.

The common variety/varieties I have seen here–AFAICT across Europe in general–really does have some of the thickest, toughest, most intrusive hulls I have ever encountered. With the lovely EDS/HMS easily torn up gums factor, that’s really not a good thing.

I really like popcorn, but have held off on eating any for couple of months. After the last popcorn-related bad inflamed gum episode that made it hard to eat solid food for a few days.

Tonight I couldn’t resist popping some again, and thought maybe I should actually try to find something less likely to cause regrets afterwards. Never had it to this degree with even bog standard popcorn varieties back home, and it’s not like my collagen would have gotten any funkier in the meantime. But, apparently it’s not just me imagining the hellacious hulls 🙄

Trying something different is probably worth the money, yeah. Even if we can’t use all of it, as much as I hate wasting food. It should stay good for a while in the freezer, at least.
