Here's a new study that looks at the problems with acrylamide, an ingredient found in potato chips. It is also found in other foods such as french fries and cereals. It is thought that acrylamide may increase inflammation.
Volunteers ate potato chips daily for 4 weeks. A significant increase in inflammation was found. Interestingly, four weeks after the study ended, markers of inflammation were still high.
All this translates to: throw away the potato chips!
