Beware: Baked Chips May Be WORSE than Fried!




If you think you can avoid the health risks of potato chips by choosing baked varieties, which are typically advertised as being “healthier,” think again. Remember that acrylamide is formed not only when foods are fried or broiled, but also when they are baked. And according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) data on acrylamide levels in foods, baked chips may contain more than three times the level of acrylamide as regular chips!
Interestingly, the same trend holds true for other foods, too, which suggests that baking processed potatoes at high temperature may be one of the worst ways to cook them. For instance, according to the FDA’s data, Ore Ida Golden Fries contained 107 ppb of acrylamide in the regular fried version and 1,098 when baked. So remember, ALL potato chips contain acrylamide, regardless of whether they are natural or not; baked or fried. Likewise, they will ALL influence your insulin levels in a very negative way.

Mountain Dew Mouth.” which is used to describe all the decay caused by this soft drink.
Mountain Dew is sweet and kids love it. They sip it in school, during after school activities and in the evening while watching television. Sipping Mountain Dew in this manner, throughout the day, is equivalent to soaking the teeth in sugar.
Mountain Dew soda, has been deemed the culprit in creating a high incidence of severe tooth decay in children ,
A 20 ounce bottle of Mountain Dew contains 19 teaspoons of sugar, 93 milligrams of caffeine and acid that causes enamel erosion. Thus the dental community’s coined phrase, “Mountain Dew Mouth.”
 Citric acid is in a lot of lemon- or lime-flavored beverages, and all carbonated beverages have phosphoric acid. Acids are what erode the teeth.
According to the American Dental Association, 65 percent of West Virginia's children ages three through seven suffer from tooth decay—and near-constant sipping of Mountain Dew and other citric acid-based drinks plays a role.
