When the idea of having some snack foods comes to mind, there’s a good chance that you will think of a bag of potato chips at once. Yes, potato chips are one of the most common snacks in our daily life. They are very popular among both children and adults. It’s very easy for us to eat a whole bag of chips in a few minutes. But have you ever stopped and thought about what exactly happens to your body when you eat potato chips, especially if you eat a big bag every day?
If you eat potato chips every day, you are likely to put on weight. A study shows that people who have potato chips as a part of their diets gain weight easily. It’s no wonder they are on the list of snacks that cause you to gain weight.
Studies have also shown that a high intake of sodium (钠的大量摄入) is connected with a higher risk of high blood pressure. One of the main components (成分) of potato chips is sodium. If you often eat potato chips, over time, you’re going to end up developing high blood pressure.
Besides, you could increase the risk of getting cancer. This seems a bit extreme (极端的). However, according to the American Cancer Society, potato chips have acrylamide, something that is created in high-starch (高淀粉) foods when they’re cooked in hot oil, over a fire, or in an oven. Studies on mice have shown that it has something to do with cancer.
Thinking about all these, what should you do then? Just take it easy. You needn’t worry too much. If you can limit yourself to a small, snack-size bag of potato chips once in a while, instead of eating a large bag every day, you’ll be fine.
