Anyone have expertise with corn kernels? Looking for literature to support the raw kernels and associated biological hazards?

I know they can get weevils, but I LOVE popcorn (pan popped) and don't want to read too much into it because it is legit my favorite food.

 

Here is another thread on the topic.  Hopefully it will answer your questions.
