Are French fries so bad? And what if the harmful potatoes have already become your favorite? In fact, the harm in fried potatoes is relative. Any, even the most healthy food, when consumed in large quantities, harms the body. So why, then, does everyone scold the potatoes without understanding the issue? Let's look at it in order.

What we have? Energy enters the body, metabolic processes proceed, but the necessary nutrition to cleanse the body is not received. The wear of the body under the influence of such nutrition is quite intense.
Why fried potatoes are harmful
If the potatoes are fried at home, use the oil once. In restaurants or bistros, deep-fried oil is heated many times and combustion products inevitably end up in each portion.
Fried potatoes stress the liver, this organ processes all the junk food. We do not notice any load as long as it is in good working order and we are healthy. But there is no need to take the strength from the body and waste it so wastefully.
Which fried potatoes are less harmful

If you really want potatoes outside the home, then you can order them at a restaurant where they are cooked in a pan, this excludes frying in harmful, burnt oil.
If you do eat fries, then buy them only in serious restaurants and never buy them in small bistros. Restaurants maintain an oil change log that updates the deep fat to ensure that the oil will not be too old.

Sauces in public catering
The sauces offered with potatoes contain a large amount of preservatives, dyes and sugar. The best choice is regular ketchup, although it contains vinegar and sugar.
How to reduce the harm of fried potatoes

To improve digestion, it is best to eat solid fiber salads. These are salads from leaves, stems and roots in their raw form. For example: cabbage salad, beetroot, carrot, radish, lettuce, etc.
The salad does not have to be part of the meal with the potatoes. If you eat a salad the day before or one day after eating potatoes, its beneficial effects will still continue.
