As you know , nowadays French fries and potato chips are the moooost popular and favorited snack!!! It is not difficult for you to chomp on 10 packages (or probably more ?!? )of your McD fries and Doritos chips since they are
deliciously crunchy and tasty .Some of them have a unique flavour and bright colour , fresh appearance .And how do the frozen-packaged potatoes obtain such a marvelous flavour and appearance just by frying it ? The answer ? They are deep fried in Trans FAT!!!! Moreover they contain MSG , known as Monosodium Glutamate , an artificially made flavor enhancer which existence have been disguised in most of the MSG-containing snacks’ labels since a long time ago. Food additives such as MSG , causes excitotoxic damage which is currently being found to play quite a big role in sudden cardiac death , particularly in athletes .What is Excitotoxins ?They are excitatory amino acids which causes neurons to die . There had been many complains from the MSG consumer claimed to experience headache , nausea , or vomiting after consuming foods containing MSG .As I have mentioned before , MSG caused addiction , which means that you could devour a lot of those fries foods once you taste them .For you to know , 10 servings contains at least 5 full grams of trans fat, which had been known from pole to pole as ‘toxic’ . Trans Fat , also known as hydrogenated vegetable oils ,is made by boiling it on a substance containing metal catalysts and a lot of hydrogen .Trans Fats can be used repeatedly for many times and is able to enhance the appearance and flavour of foods cooked in it , compared to the one cooked in ordinary vegetable oils .It makes the surface of the foods brighter and the flavour sweeter ..But it's side effects are even worse than animal fats .Besides making people muuuuchh moreee fattteer as MSG does , Trans fats is also capable of clogging obne's arteries , stopping blood and Oxygen supply to brain and heart ,hence causing HEART ATTACK or STROKE !

concerns with snacks such as potato chips , French fries , and other baked or fried snacks .These foods contains
veeeery high fat but zero (0) calories .That’s the fact , and everyone should have known that !!!^^ But the addictive flavors enhancer kept you on it . Investigations also proved that French fries and potato chips contains high levels of a toxic chemical ,,carcinogenic substance called ACRYLAMIDE , which is known to cause DNA damage ,resulting in cancer and reproductive damage . Recently , food manufacturers have been legally lying to consumers about the trans fat issue since most of the fries foods contains a high level of trans fats .High temperature used in the cooking process of the chips causes the acrylamide to be formed .So , there is still a ‘bunch ‘ of risks even IF the trans fats is removed OR reduced .Trans fats , however , is only reduced . The serving’s size is reduced to a certain extent that it contain only less than 500 mg of trans fat .which in manipulating the legal system , could be qualified as zero trans fats .Acrylamide is also present in drinking water but it’s lamount was strictly regulated to avoid contamination from the manufacture of plastics but not in food . In foods ,acrylamide is spontaneously produced by heating starchy foods such as potato to high temperatures , although the raw ingredients contain none of it . As far , potato chips contains the highest level of acrylamide , which was 500 times than the amount allowed by the EPA in a glass of water ,followed by French fries ,which was served with 100 times the allowed amount of Acrylamide . Large order of food fries contains at least 300 times the allowed amount .

The high level of acrylamide in potato chips and French fries had been confirmed by independent studies in England , Norway , Switzerland ,Germany and the United states . The WHO also had confirmed that the results of these studies are valid .Although the levels of acromylade found in various brands of potato chips and French fries also varies according to other factors such as cooking techniques, it had been proven that the levels of it on potato chips and French fries is more than enough to cause cancer !!!!!



As far , experts are still researching on the extent of the risks it could cause , yet it have been suggested that 30 % of all cancers are caused by unbalanced diet ,in which , perhaps , the presence of MSG and Acrylamide play a bigger role that what we expect them to have.Taking a balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables , and decreasing the amount of foods containing acrylamide would be best to do NOW !!! , since it is still too early to specify which brand of fried foods should be strongly avoided . Everyone should know that potato chips and French fries are children’s most favorited fries foods , but I would suggest that  CHILDREN are not recommended to consume French fries , potato chips , or corn chips until research on the brands which should be avoided is on . You could also try to pay more attention to the labeling on foods to indicate the presence and amount of acrylamide .
