Dr. Ivan Yeremenko, aninternist, points out that excessive consumption of potato chips can lead to various health problems, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
He says: "A packet of potato chips typically contains a large amount of salt and saturated fat, which, when consumed frequently, may contribute to high blood pressure, weight gain, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease."
According to him, regardless of the type of chip material, whether it is potato, corn or vegetable, it should be consumed in moderation.
He says: "Some manufacturers produce baked chips or low-salt chips, but even these options do not replace vegetables, whole grains, or other elements of a healthy diet."
It should be noted that a scientific study has shown that potato chips are particularly harmful to children because they are high in saturated fat and calories. Moreover, they do not provide a feeling of fullness but instead contribute to weight gain and negatively affect their growth.
