Scientists discovered something surprising about french fries and diabetes

Scientists have found a link between consuming french fries and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Eating three servings of fries per week was associated with a 20% higher risk of diabetes, according to a large study tracking over 205,000 people for nearly 40 years. In contrast, baked, boiled, or mashed potatoes did not significantly increase the risk of diabetes. Replacing potatoes with whole grains was found to lower diabetes risk, while substituting them with white rice had the opposite effect.
