New Study Directly Links Fried Food Consumption To Increased Risk Of Death - Delish
Particularly for women.
A study published in The BMJ this week finds that fried food consumption is directly linked to an increased risk of death. Specifically, researchers studied the effects of eating fried food every day on the health of post-menopausal women in the United States.
The scientists involved found the increased risk of death that came with consuming fried chicken, fried food, and the like came from everything but cancer; type 2 diabetes and heart disease were some of the primary causes of early death.
This, of course, isn't the first time the effects of fried food consumption on health have been studied, and the study's lead author Wei Bao acknowledged as much to CNN: "We know fried food consumption is something very common in the United States and also around the world," he said. "Unfortunately, we know very little about long-term health effect of fried food consumption."
