Oh, Jesus Christ... Okay, I'm pretty sure this a correlation/causation thing.
Let me ask you, where do you usually eat french fries in the United States? Think about it for a minute.
Did you answer at a fast food place? Because while I don't have any data on hand I'm pretty sure that's the correct answer. At least I know that's where I eat most of my fries. So assuming that's correct the headline transforms to "People who regularly eat fast food are at higher risk for diabetes".
No fucking duh.
Mcdonalds fries literally have sugar added to them at the processing plant before flash freezing.
I eat fries coming from my airfryer. So it's not deep fried. :P
I thought this was funny.
His study found that whole grains, when compared to all types of potatoes, were less likely to elevate one’s diabetes risk. White rice, on the other hand, had a stronger association with Type 2 diabetes than either of these foods
Weekly servings of boiled, baked or mashed potatoes weren’t associated with an elevated risk of Type 2 diabetes — but french fries were.
Among those who consumed potatoes, the authors looked at which people developed Type 2 diabetes, a disease that leads to persistently high blood sugar levels.
Of the people who eat potatoes eating potatoes doesn't increase t2d risk..... This is why I hate epidemiology
Yes, I do want those fries
