Is french fries bad for health?

Are french fried bad for your health? Yes, while frying them in peanut oil is better for your health that other types of oil it is still not great for your arteries or your cholesterol. Having them once in awhile is fine but any more than that and your going to clog your arteries and are just a few fast food meals away from a heart attack. Most fried food is not good for you.
Not to mention if they have been salted.

Yes! grease isnt healthy.But having them once in a while is ok.

All cooked oil may give you cancer so I guess French fries are out in the health stakes.

Yes, French fries are bad for your health. The oil that they are cooked in soaks into the potatoes. So it is best to choose the oil carefully, drain the potatoes well, and eat them in moderation. The salt that you put on them can also be unhealthy. I love French fries. I just eat less of them and for a special treat now. Enjoy.

No. It is how many and how often you eat them that is the culprit. Any food in moderation is fine.

Tastes good = bad for you. Plus, french fries are loaded with trans fat. A small order has the max (about 4 grams) of which you should consume in an entire day!

Yes, they are really fatty and have way to much salt but i must admitt I LOVE THEM!!! LOL

Sure , french fries are bad for your health.
Anything fried in a lot of grease is bad for you.
Unless you make oven fries, They are ok, and good.
Just take your cut potatoes, spray with a little pam,
Cook in a hot oven (375) until golden brown.

yes to some extend.. you can have it occasionally not often.

Yes french fries that are fried are, but bake are not. There are also all kinds of fries like sweet potatoes, veggie, ets. tried them but bake them.

They can be if they are fried, however I always always bake them and they are a lot better for you!!!!!!!!!

McDonald's doesn't make fries, they make genetically modified snacks. Trans fat on top of other ingredients. If you've eaten fries in the car and one falls between the seat, they don't do what potatos are supposed to do, rot.

Agree about sticking them in the oven and going with the sweet potatos as a substitute or if the place has "steak fries". Could try other oils like olive oil and top 'em with feta. I've heard about fries with truffle oil are insanely good.

Well the potato is somewhat healthy but the shorting it is cooked isn't too healthy. If you bake them in the oven will be a healthier choice. Hope this answered your question.

of course they are!!..anything which is deep fried is bad for health. Also when potatoes are deep friend, they lose the nutrition value.
