Tuesday, June 13, 2017
Yes, we know French fries are an unhealthy treat, but could eating them on the regular send you to an early grave?

Researchers did not find an increased risk when the potatoes were not fried.

It may be a good reminder to be aware of how much fried food you're eating and how often.
