But let's remember that the chips are fried product, namely, the roasting of starch from which it is now doing chips most manufacturers in low-grade oils leads to the formation of very dangerous for human organism substances:
The acrylamide. It is a toxic substance that is formed in the case of chemical reactions between sugars at the time of frying. It affects the nervous system, kidneys, liver and ocular mucosa.
Glycemic. It has an elevated carcinogenic properties leading to the formation of malignant tumors. But its harm is not yet fully understood. This substance is formed during incomplete decomposition of acrylamide.
Acrolein. Its formation is accompanied by the decomposition of fats during heat treatment. This substance has high toxicity, are able to irritate the internal organs. That is why acrolein is included in the list of the most dangerous substances that exist.
