Though they're tasty and quite satisfying, French fries may actually be more harmful to our health than we thought, according to a new research paper published Monday in the journal PNAS.
Fried foods, which are high in saturated fat and trans fat, have long been linked to obesity, diabetes and heart disease. But recently, a research team in Hangzhou, China found that increased consumption of fried foods, particularly French fries, was also linked with a 12% higher risk of anxiety and a 7% higher risk of depression than in people who didn't eat fried foods, per CNN.
