1, leading to obesity.
After being fried, the water content of potato chips sold in the market will be reduced to only about 2%, while the oil content is as high as 40%. Therefore, potato chips are completely high-calorie and high-fat foods, and eating too much will naturally lead to obesity.
2. Carcinogenesis
When potatoes are fried at high temperature, they will produce a substance called acrylamide, which is carcinogenic. In daily life, we basically come into contact with this substance by drinking water. The content of this substance in potato chips far exceeds the maximum allowable content in drinking water, so eating potato chips often may increase the risk of cancer.
3. Malnutrition
Potato itself contains many vitamins needed by human body, but after frying, most of its nutrients are destroyed. Therefore, children who eat potato chips for a long time, especially those who eat too much, can't get enough vitamins. Potato chips will also make them feel full, make them hate eating, lead to malnutrition and affect their development.
4, affect appetite
There will be food additives in potato chips to make the taste more delicious. Essence and saccharin are one of them. Eating too much saccharin will cause abnormal secretion of digestive enzymes in the stomach, which will weaken the digestion and absorption capacity and affect appetite.
5. Induce "three highs"
The fat content of potato chips is as high as 40%, and calories account for 30%. Therefore, long-term consumption of potato chips will lead to hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity.
