Americans love fried foods. But yet another study suggests that it's time to put that corn dog down. healthyeating
HealthDay News -- Check out the menus at any county fair -- corn dogs, fried Oreos, even fried butter -- and you'll quickly see that Americans love fried foods. But yet another study suggests that it's time to put that corn dog down.The study found that eating fried foods increased the risk of heart attack and stroke. And the more fried foods you eat, the greater your risk.
"Eating small amounts of something fried isn't the end of the world, but the more you eat of fried foods, the worse it is for you," explained White, who wasn't involved with the study. She's an associate professor at Quinnipiac College in Hamden, Conn. Honerlaw and her colleagues asked study participants about the foods they ate, including fried foods. Just under half said they ate fried foods less than once a week. About a third had fried foods one to three times a week. Only a small group -- about 5% -- said they ate fried foods daily.Dr. Eugenia Gianos is director of Women's Heart Health at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
It's not clear from this study what types of foods people were eating fried, and that can make a difference. But, generally, fried foods are unhealthy because frying adds a lot of extra fat and calories.
