French fries
They are the perfect accompaniment to a burger or your favorite sandwich, but French fries, chips, or anything crispy and deep-fried in oil that has been reused or is too hot—fried fish, chicken, or shrimp–can age you, says Ginger Hultin, RD and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “Frying can be a good way of cooking if the oil is fresh and it is done correctly at the right temperature,” she says, “but too often the oil is reused many times and the food is being dipped into a damaged and even dangerous product that contains trans fat and free radicals from cooking at too high a temperature.” Research has proved that eating fried food at least once per week increases a person’s risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and that risk increases with the frequency of consumption of fried food. “Chronic diseases associated with the aging body can appear at younger ages with the intake of these types of foods,” says Hultin, “and the presence of inflammation can make a person feel tired, swollen, and run down.” If you crave that crispy crunch, try alternatives to French fries or baking instead of frying, says Hultin. “Coat potatoes, veggies, and meats in cornmeal or panko and bake them. This is a lower-fat option that doesn’t risk exposure to the damaged oil that can be used in frying.” Now learn the scariest side effect of your French fry addiction.
