Fried chicken and fish up risk of early death
Washington:25.01.2019
Regularly eating fried chicken or fish is associated with a higher risk of death from any cause, specifically heart-related mortality, according to a study on postmenopausal women in the US.
The study, published in the ‘British Medical Journal’, suggests that reducing consumption of fried foods, especially fried chicken and fried fish/shellfish, could have a positive public health impact.
Up to a third of North American adults have fastfood every day, and previous studies have suggested that a greater intake of fried food is associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, researchers said.
US researchers investigated the association of eating fried food with death from any cause, and in particular heart and cancer-related death.
They used questionnaire data to assess the diets of 106,966 women, aged 50 to 79.
During this time, 31,588 deaths occurred, including 9,320 heart-related deaths 8,358 cancer deaths and 13,880 from other causes. Researchers looked at the women’s total and specific consumption of different fried foods. After taking account of lifestyle, overall diet quality, they found that regularly eating fried foods was associated with a heightened risk of death from any cause and, specifically, heart-related death.

STAY AWAY FROM OILY STUFF:
Women who ate fried foods often had a 7% increased risk of mortality and a 12% increased risk of cardiovascular death compared with those who ate none, showed research
