Can you die if you eat chips every day
As the doctor explained, this product is not as scary as is commonly believed.
Chips cannot cause death, Rimskaya said.
However, they should not be consumed on a daily basis.
According to the gastroenterologist, chips are very high in calories: 100 grams contain about 500 calories.
Therefore, the doctor warned, excessive consumption of this product is fraught with obesity.
Obesity, in turn, provokes type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and oncological diseases.
You can die from them. But, most likely, it will be a predisposing lifestyle in general, the specialist noted.
In addition, chips contain a lot of salt, the consumption of which should be limited, especially for people with cardiovascular diseases.
