It is without a doubt the case that French fries are among the most delicious and reassuring dishes. In addition to this, potato fries are so addicting that it is impossible for anyone to consume just one of them.
It is possible that eating an excessive amount of fries will have a detrimental impact on your health in the long term. And maybe most importantly, it can raise the probability that you will pass away at an earlier age. Indeed, you did read that correctly!
A research that was done on 4,500 people and published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating French fries more than twice a week can increase the likelihood of dying prematurely by a factor of two.
The body digests fats slower than carbohydrates and protein. Thus, fries stay in your stomach longer than healthful meals. Fried meals increase the risk of stomach discomfort, according to a Journal Ultrasound International Open research.

A research in Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care found that a high-fat, oily diet boosts harmful bacteria in the microbiome, reducing immunity.
A research indicated that consuming fried food three times a week increased heart attack and stroke risk by 7%. Daily fried food consumption doubled risk by 15%.
