Why does frying food make it unhealthy?
In: Other
1 cup of russet potatoes is 118 calories.
Frying in oil brings that up to 312 calories.
Add in the fact that fried foods are hyper palatable, making it easy to consume larger portions than necessary, and you have a much higher chance of eating far more calories than your body uses. Those calories are stored as fat. Excess body fat may lead to all sorts of negative health outcomes.
