I switched to oven fries. It has taken awhile, but now I like them as well as those fried in fat!

They are sprayed with fat, thats why I love em. Use vinegar to balance the fat.

These so called studies are bad science, in fact they aren't science at all.
They're "social studies" and lack rigor of real science.

I don't care what food item you choose, 100% of the people who eat that are going to die. That doesn't mean that the food item contributed to the death,.

Maybe people who eat french fries every day also engage in some other health risky factor that shortens their lives and has nothing to do with fried potatoes.

Oh please. We are all going to die. I'm going to enjoy myself while I'm still here to enjoy the ride.

Or maybe french fries are bad for you. I'm betting on that. But it's a free country, you can bet that it's just coincidence.

I average once a month, or about once every 6 weeks really


In any event, I gave up trying to avoid delicious fatty foods pretty soon. Going of a heart attack at, say, 85 is a great way to go considering most of the alternatives. And as pointed out here - you do have to go. Weight, cholesterol and BP are good so I'm carrying on as normal.

French fries in any considerable amount can have negative health implications, but I would guess that the reason for the correlation is that people who eat fries 2+ times per week are also eating a high calorie, high sodium diet with few plant foods and are statistically less likely to exercise. That is what compromises their health, not the mere presence of french fries.
