Researchers at the University of Bristol have warned that overdosing on chips slows children's mental development.
The new study revealed that chips, in addition to damaging blood cholesterol and leading to overweight, also lead to mental health problems in children.
Children between the ages of 3 and 4 were studied, some of whom consumed chips every day.
The final results of the experiment showed memory impairment, low level of creative thinking and decreased concentration.
Children with similar problems later have low school performance and problems with discipline in the family and in the classroom.
The cause of these problems lies in the saturated fat of the chips. They interfere with the proper functioning of brain cells and damage the hormonal balance.
The consequences of the uncontrolled use of chips are irreversible. Experts recommend that the use of chips be reduced to a minimum in the children's menu.
It was found that the consumption of 1 packet of chips per day is equal to the consumption of 5 tbsp. oil.
Research has shown that food companies present chips as a light and tempting snack by filling the product with chemical additives that people are addicted to.
The chips contain a toxic chemical, acrylamide, which is colorless, tasteless and odorless. The chemical is associated with damage to DNA structures.
The World Health Organization says that consuming large amounts of chips during pregnancy is tantamount to smoking and can harm the fetus.
The large amounts of salt contained in it contribute to the development of heart and cancer, type II diabetes, hyperactivity in children and others.
Regular consumption of chips can cause blockage of blood vessels, stroke and atherosclerosis.
The fat, salt and sugar in the chips stimulate the pleasure centers in the brain and lead to an irresistible desire to consume them.
Experts are calling for a law requiring food companies to label products to warn people of the dangers of consuming them.
