YIKES! Researchers have found the most terrible side effects of French fry addiction

Bad news for French fries anywhere: these sliced ​​potatoes are more fatal than originally thought.

Sorry, potatoes people! Perhaps it is not surprising that French fries are one of the worst foods that can be eaten, but most of us are still negative. After all, it will not hurt to indulge in greasy goodness for a while ... is that so?

According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, our guilt consciousness may work. This study, which tracked potato consumption by 4,400 elderly people between the ages of 8 and 45, shows that if you eat French fries at least twice the risk of death will double. Yikes!

But hold up! Prior to throwing away the bag of your pantry's spud, the researchers knew that overall they would eat potatoes. Instead, it is the type of potato literally makes all the difference between life and death literally.

Eating at least twice a week of fried potatoes such as fried potatoes and hash brown raised the risk of death of research participants. On the other hand, potatoes not boiled, baked, fried, such as mashed potatoes, are unlikely to cause death.

why? Because potatoes contain healthy levels of fiber, vitamins and micronutrients, you can feel guilty. However, it may be fried, you may want to think again. French fries have a lot of fat, salt increases, leading to weight gain and obesity.

Still, when everything is done and said, the correlation is not the same as the cause. More research is needed before concluding that French fries alone will increase the risk of death. Fortunately, potatoes are still counted as one of 3 to 5 servings of vegetables recommended on a single day (and these are the best vegetables you can eat!) If possible, you can take fatty ones Please try to avoid it.
