French fried potatoes linked to 20% higher diabetes risk

need to be southern fried??

 

In lard , much betterer than veggie aka soybean oil

 

Crisco, was what my Mom always used.

 

My dad used peanut oil to fry the fish and fries.. pretty tasty back in the day.. make up some coleslaw and fried okra and your have a great southern dish..

I believe the term is just "fries" so as not to discriminate agin the French. Chips is a more world wide recognized term, and we eat 4.5 BILLION pounds of fries in the US every year. A McDs large fries, if filled properly, is about 1/3 pound. I'd have to think it would be the salt more than anything. Fries without salt is like, well, you can figure it out. I love salt. As a kid, I remember going through a whole box of those "Mr. Salty" pretzels in an evening, and my mom was a nurse. I think it's all a bunch of hooey,,,

 

Just my --


I don't think just eating potatoes is what's causing the increase in T2D. It's the size of the rear end of the person eating them! Regular potatoes, no matter if they are fried or baked, go straight to what is basically sugar. I wear a G-7 CGM and can see how my blood sugar goes up after eating an average-sized baked potato. Carbohydrates are the problem. Yes, the human body needs carbohydrates to function, but not make up a huge amount of a daily diet.

 

I think i read there a a bunch of additives, and depending on oil used, Mcd's throws in their fries. Most if not all fast food is not classified as food anymore, let alone healthy.

 

I have a plate with a lot of slots in it

you
Slice up potatoes and stand the slices up in the slots and nuke it in the microwave and it makes pretty tasty potato chips that are not fried

 

Aren't they a vegetable?
