Eating Fries Linked to Higher Risk of Death

 A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has found that people who eat fries two times a week will have a higher risk of death. The study researched 4,400 people aged 45–79 who ate potatoes for eight years. The researchers used questionnaires to get information about each person's eating habits. During the time of the study, 236 people passed away.
 The researchers found that people who eat fried potatoes, including French fries, potato chips, and hash browns at least two times per week were linked to a more than doubled risk of death compared with unfried potato eaters. Fried potatoes are high in fats and salt, which are also linked to heart problems and being overweight.
 However, there were some limits in the study. More research with a larger group of people is needed to show overeating fries caused a higher risk of death. The study subjects were not average people as the data were taken from an osteoarthritis study. The study suggested that eating fried potatoes could be an important factor for early death and people should limit the intake of fried potatoes.
