I know it’s Painful for most of you , but it’s a TRUE FACT !!! 😬😬😬

Fried Potatoes & Seed Oils
Everyone loves fried potatoes. They’re a food we can hardly stop eating until the plate is empty.
But did you know that when fried in seed oils, they can contain toxic substances equivalent to those found in 25 ci******es?
When frying with sunflower or corn oil, thousands of harmful compounds called aldehydes are formed and absorbed. These arise when fats break down at high temperatures and include toxins like acrolein and crotonaldehyde. These are similar to the toxins in cigarette smoke, capable of causing cell damage, inflammation, and DNA alterations. It’s estimated that about 80% of cigarette toxicity comes from such compounds.
A 154-gram serving of fast-food fried potatoes contains aldehydes equivalent to 25 ci******es. Long-term consumption may increase the risk of cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cardiovascular issues.
To enjoy fried potatoes while reducing risks, opt for healthier oils (extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, or avocado oil) or bake them in the oven. Your body will thank you with better health.
