When potatoes are fried at high temperature, they produce a substance called acrylamide, which is carcinogenic.

However, 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.

Potato itself contains many vitamins needed by human body, but after frying, most of the nutrients in it are destroyed. Therefore, eating potato chips for a long time, especially for children who eat too much, can't get enough vitamins, and potato chips will also cause them a feeling of fullness, which will make them dislike eating, which will lead to malnutrition and affect their development.

Eating too much saccharin will make the digestive enzymes in the stomach secrete abnormally, which will lead to the weakening of digestion and absorption capacity and affect appetite.

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 high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and obesity.

In the process of children's development, the detoxification ability of various organs is not very strong, and there are many additives in potato chips, which will affect children's metabolism and cause allergies.
7, lead to stunting.
A leavening agent will be added to potato chips to make them more crisp. However, both leavening agents and packaging materials of potato chips will produce aluminum. Long-term intake of aluminum will damage the function of human body, especially for children whose physical development is not perfect. Excessive intake will lead to their developmental delay. Therefore, eat less potato chips.
8, damage to the nervous system
In the production process of potato chips, when they pass through metal pipes, the lead in the pipes will also enter the potato chips due to the high temperature. Excessive accumulation of lead in human body will damage people's nervous system, resulting in poor memory, anorexia and vomiting.
