THE DANGERS OF EATING FRIED POTATOES...

Base on a recent study which was released by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it indicated that those who avoid eating fried potatoes two or more times every week, protect themselves from early death but double the risk of an early death for people eating potatoes two or more times a week. Although the researchers states that the eating of potatoes which is not fried was not linked to a similar early death risk.

The study tracked 4,440 people aged 44 to 78 over a period of eight years to study osteoarthritis. This research team decided to immediately put aside the main issue of osteoarthritis and then look at peoples consumption of potatoes. French fries, potato chips, hash browns and any other preparation that requires frying were all included under the umbrella of "fried potatoes".

According to the statement, the researchers shared study participants into subgroups based on how frequently they ate potatoes each week. Over the eight years, a total of 236 of the participants died.

Now in analyzing the data for each group, Veronese and his team discovered that those who ate fried potatoes two to three time each week increased their chance of dying early compared to those who ate no fried potatoes.

Age or sex of participants has no influence on the result, but the data showed men were more likely than women and younger participants were more likely than older participants to enjoy the fried food.

The research was piloted by Dr Nicola Veronese, who was the lead author of the study and a scientist at the National Research Council in Padova, Italy.

If this is confirmed to be true, then I think we definitely need to abstain from this.
