How many chips can you eat without harming your health?

You can eat no more than 60 grams of chips per month without harming your health, therapist Nadezhda Chernyshova told aif.ru.

“Chips contain a lot of fat, 30 grams of fat per 100 grams of product, and 100 grams of chips is more than 500 kilocalories. That is, an extra bag of chips will add a lot of calories to our daily norm,” the expert said.

The doctor drew attention to the fact that chips are deep-fried at high temperatures, which leads to the formation of harmful substances, including those with a carcinogenic effect.

“Regular consumption of chips can increase the risk of developing cancer. In addition, such fatty and heavily fried food leads to an exacerbation of gastritis, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, that is, all diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and also contributes to an increase in cholesterol and the development of atherosclerosis,” the expert said.

The doctor emphasized that chips cannot be considered a quick snack and consumed daily.

“Let's say once a month a bag of chips no more than 70 grams or a little more often, twice a month, but each portion is about 30 grams. Exactly as much fits in the palm of an adult,” the expert added. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
