Judgement

24 Mar 2007

Judge Jan:

1. On a really biased note, I detest french fries from Macdonalds. In constrast, I do adore Fish and Co.s' fries tremendously, but I shall try not to let my biaseness show during this court case. (smile)

2. Potatoes are bad enough when consumed in their raw state, as their simple sugars are rapidly converted to glucose that raises insulin levels and can devastate one's health. (chapt 4 of bio text! :D) When they are cooked in trans fat at high temperatures, it is much worse!

Anything that is fried has the issue of trans fat and the potent cancer-causing substance acrylamide.

Foods that are fried in vegetable oils are particularly problematic as the polyunsaturated fats easily become rancid when exposed to oxygen and produce large amounts of damaging free radicals in the body. They are also very susceptible to heat-induced damage from cooking. These oils can cause aging, clotting, inflammation, cancer and weight gain.


The facts

3. In late 2005, a survey study by several women’s hospitals, Harvard, and Brigham Young University evaluated nurses who had consumed french fries at least once weekly during early childhood. Those nurses who had eaten french fries on a weekly basis were 27% more likely to develop breast cancer as adults.

4. The study concludes that French Fries pose additional risks to developing breast cancer. In response, many fast food companies began offering alternatives to french fries, such as fruit or vegetable servings.
This study did not suggest that all “forbidden foods” pose the same potential risk. Women who ate hot dogs or ice cream, according to this survey were found to be at no additional risk for developing breast cancer.

Decision of the judge

5. I have already made it quite clear that I hate French Fries fried in reused oil, thus the verdict is quite clear...GUILTY!!! >=)

6. "I hereby hate french fries fried in reused oil. Since the jury enjoys fries, they can eat as much as they like. It's them getting fat and old-looking afterall! :) "

Yes, smash your head into some Trans Fats, Saturated Fats, Calories, Carbohydrates, Ash and Sucrose.
