Calories in fried foods

Fried food is a common food with high calories. Generally, 100g of fried food contains about 890 calories. Eating fried foods frequently is very bad for your body shape. In addition, eating too much fried food may also increase the risk of cancer, increase gastrointestinal burden, and cause cardiovascular disease. Below, I will introduce to you in detail the six major hazards of fried foods!

1. Not conducive to weight control

Fried foods are high in calories and fat. For example, 100 grams of fried dough sticks contain 626 kcal, which requires about 13,500 steps to burn off. These fried foods are usually made from starch fried in oil, so they absorb a lot of oil, and you eat all of the oil. Do you think you can avoid getting fat?

2. May cause cancer

When starch is cooked at high temperatures, it produces a substance called acrylamide, which is a carcinogenic chemical. Fried foods, such as fried dough sticks and French fries, are all fried with starchy ingredients. Although there is no indication of how much amount can cause cancer, there is still a possibility of cancer.

3. Prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Cardiovascular disease is caused by the high trans fatty acids in fried foods, which can clog blood vessels and make them inelastic, making them more likely to cause cardiovascular disease.

4. Increase gastrointestinal burden

Fried foods are more difficult to digest than other foods, so they naturally put a burden on the stomach and intestines. Moreover, if some fried foods are hard, even if you have chewed them up and swallowed them, they will still have a certain impact on your stomach. Moreover, fried foods with high salt content will further irritate the stomach and intestines.

5. Low nutritional value

High oil temperature will cause the original nutrients of the food to disappear, and it will also cause the protein to deteriorate and destroy some vitamins and inorganic salts. So, even if you feel full after eating fried foods, you actually get almost no nutrition.

6. Make people stupid

Fried foods or puffed foods contain potassium aluminum sulfate or ammonium aluminum sulfate. These chemicals can damage brain tissue, making people stupider and may even cause Alzheimer's disease.
