Everyone knows that chips are a high-calorie product. But that's not the worst thing.
Potato products can pose a real health hazard – they can cause cancer.
So how much of this deliciousness can you eat? And here doctors can surprise many.
It turns out that the maximum permissible level without harm to health is about 60-70 grams per month.
To make it clearer: this amount is comparable to a handful of chips in two palms of an adult.
But even if you adhere to the limit, you should not forget that the product is extremely fatty and extremely high in calories.
Thus, every hundred grams of chips contains 30 grams of fat and over 500 kilocalories.
But even this is not the worst thing. A much more significant threat is potential oncology.
This is due to the fact that chips are deep-fried at high temperatures, which leads to the formation of very dangerous carcinogenic substances in them.
With regular consumption of the product, the likelihood of developing cancer increases significantly.
Doctors also warned that chips can increase cholesterol levels.
In addition, they cause atherosclerosis and exacerbation of chronic gastrointestinal diseases (gastritis, pancreatitis and cholecystitis).
