Heartburn Sufferers Avoid Most Wanted Super Bowl Foods

(BI) Michael Worringer

CINCINNATI -- A new survey of Super Bowl fans finds that the most-wanted foods for game-day may also be the ones most likely avoided -- all due to heartburn.

Eighty percent of frequent heartburn sufferers surveyed said that food is a must have at a Super Bowl party, and that the top three favorites on game day were pizza, nachos and potato chips. Many also said that they already avoid spicy (66 percent), greasy (57 percent) and tomato-based foods (39 percent), meaning that the best-loved snacks could also be left on the buffet.

Furthermore, heartburn sufferers said the one food they would love to be able to eat on Super Bowl Sunday, without worrying about heartburn, would be pizza, followed closely by hot wings and chili.

The Internet survey was conducted by independent survey company Greenfield Online, Inc. More than 2,400 consumers with frequent heartburn, or heartburn two or more days a week, participated in the survey.

Top 10 Super Bowl Foods
Pizza - 29.2 percent
Nachos and dip - 21.7 percent
Potato chips - 10.6 percent
Veggies and dip - 10.1 percent
Chicken Fingers - 8.0 percent
Other - 7.9 percent
Popcorn - 4.9 percent
Pretzels - 2.9 percent
Chocolate - 2.5 percent
Meatballs - 2.4 percent
