North Americans today consume more potato chips than any other people in the world. As a world
food, potatoes are second in human consumption only to rice. It takes 4 pounds of potatoes to make 1
pound of potato chips. Very calorie dense where a small 2 oz. bag has
over 300 calories.
Potato chips are deep fried in oxidized oil that is re-used for weeks at a time! Deep fried at high temperatures which cause the chemical, acrylimide to be released. Acrylimides are a known cancer causing agent that also causes nerve damage.
When you eat 1 single serving bag of potato chips you may be eating up to 500 times more acrylamide than the maximum level allowed in drinking water. High in hidden saturated fats. High sodium/salt content promotes water retention. Healthy chips? Like those containing olestra can be more dangerous to your health than regular chips.
