3. Fried Potatoes Cause Cancer
Fried potatoes are probably the most widely-consumed preparation because they taste really good. However, when potatoes are fried, roasted, or baked at a high temperature, it produces a chemical called acrylamide.
This chemical is a known carcinogen. In addition, studies have shown that people who eat fried potatoes two or more times per week effectively double their chance of dying early from any cause compared to people who eat no fried potatoes.
