Das Essen von drei Portionen französischer Pommes pro Woche ist mit einem 20% erhöhten Risiko für die Entwicklung von Typ -2 -Diabetes verbunden, aber ähnliche Mengen an Kartoffeln, die auf andere Weise gekocht werden – gekocht, gebacken oder püriert – erhöht das Risiko nicht wesentlich wesentlich
Three weekly servings of French fries linked to higher diabetes risk

> What’s more, replacing any form of potatoes with whole grains was associated with a lower type 2 diabetes risk, but swapping them for white rice was linked to an increased risk, the results show.
>Their findings are based on more than 205,000 health professionals from three large US studies carried out between 1984 and 2021. Participants were free of diabetes, heart disease or cancer and completed detailed food questionnaires every four years.

>During almost 40 years of follow up, 22,299 people were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

>After adjusting for lifestyle and dietary factors related to diabetes risk, the researchers found that for every three weekly servings of total potato, the rate of type 2 diabetes increased by 5% and for every three weekly servings of French fries, the rate increased by 20%. However, similar intake of baked, boiled, or mashed potatoes was not associated with a significantly increased risk.

Most participants were also health professionals of European ancestry, so findings may not apply to other populations.

Literally the same exact article from yesterday and I have the same comments: a large portion of fries calories are from oil, so this isn’t surprising
Here in the UK you can get fries – or chips as we call them – in a variety of thicknesses. Would it be fair to assume that thick-cut fries are less bad for you than thin (McDonalds etc.) fries due to the lower surface area per unit weight?
Fries usually come with a soda and a burger.
roasted potatoes usually come with chicken and veg
I came for a good time, not a long time
people who eat fries frequently are the same kind of person likely to overeat in general. Im skeptical that choice of food makes as large a difference when total calories consumed is accounted for.
Worst „news“ I have had all week… yea I know they are bad for me, don’t rub my face in it… but damn… a good fry is piece of art.
Research link is broken in the article. It’s an observational study but it doesn’t say they measured caloric intake. Wish I could see the study itself.
So I’m curious to see how the caloric intake of these individuals measured up. There have been studies recently showing that sugar(starch) isn’t necessarily the issue for T2 diabetes. It’s general overconsumption of calories over a long time.
If you’re eating a lot of French fries it may be likely you also had a burger and soda. In a single sitting that can easily be 1500cal. That’s more than my wife’s daily requirement and half of mine.
People consuming more French fries per week may also be the same ones consuming more calories overall. Would like to take a deeper dive.
I’m guessing someone who eats French fries 3x a week or more doesn’t have the best diet in general. Shocker!
I’ll have the fries please, yes, without the french please. Thank you.
problem solved
I wonder the baseline for the study and whether this is correlation issue. Understandably the possible cause to be overall diet. Where a person who eats fries three times a week is also more likely to engage in eating other unhealthy options, like the 30oz coke. I will have a read but my first reaction is this is correlation not causation.
Deep fried food is bad for you.
More news at 10.
Sound like some lazy science. By the same logic we can also say something like: “living next to the ocean is linked with higher risk of death due to flooding, tsunamis and hurricanes”, a totally useless information. Also the article link seems to be going nowhere.
What about lathering them in olive oil and air frying them?
Gee, I wonder if it has anything to do with the differing eating habits associated with each style of potatoes.
So eating french fries cooked in the airfryer comes out on top then. Nice.
Why would it? One is a deep-fried potato. The other is baked, boiled or mashed. Not the same at all.
Another correlation causation thing. I hope people realize that “association,” in general, is extremely broad. What kind of diet do people who eat French fries often have versus other styles of potato? What about the price of raw veg versus better balanced pre-prepared potato dishes versus French fries? What kind of time and resources do people have to invest in a good diet in all its facets, from grocery choices to meal prep to food intolerances to etc?
I feel like these studies oversimplify things. In a lot of ways, of course that figure is reasonable. It can just also be very misleading when people aren’t familiar with the language of scientific studies
I just try to eat a varied diet with meat, veg, grains, nuts, fish, and salad. I cannot keep up with a new studies each week with evidence that such and such food is associated with diabetes/heart disease/cancer. These kinds of mysteriously funded health studies are the reason I grew up eating thinly spread margarine on my toast because mum was terrified of cholesterol, even though we had a very low cholesterol diet and probably would have benefitted from some!
Probably because eating fries is highly associated with huge cups of sugar water that cause a massive blood sugar spike.
What’s the normal risk of developing type 2 diabetes?
Wait… you’re telling me that deep frying stuff in fat is unhealthy? Why did nobody ever say that!
Could it also be associated with the type of food eaten WITH fries?
Many times, fries come in a meal with a soft drink and hamburger.
Baked potatoes are usually eated alone with condiments like cheese or sour cream and mashed/boiled potatoes are the starch in a meal with another vegetable and a protein like beef or chicken/pork.
