A groundbreaking 30-year study following over 200,000 people has uncovered a clear link between French fries and type 2 diabetes.
The results were more dramatic than researchers expected….👇

Just 3 Servings Per Week = 20% Higher Risk
-French fries 3x weekly = 20% diabetes risk increase
- Risk climbed with each additional serving
- Effect strongest 12-20 years before diagnosis

Fried food is a real troublemaker when it comes to diabetes.
The frying process creates a triple threat:
- Seed oils oxidize at high heat, creating inflammatory compounds that drive insulin resistance
- Refined flour coatings spike blood sugar levels
- High-temperature cooking forms AGEs (advanced glycation end products) - toxic compounds that damage cells and fuel chronic inflammation
It's inflammation plus blood sugar chaos in one bite.

This 30-year study can't prove fries CAUSE diabetes, but 200,000+ people showing clear patterns is hard to ignore.
Interestingly, other potatoes and even chips showed NO risk. French fries uniquely combine high-glycemic potatoes, inflammatory seed oils, extreme heat, and refined flour coatings - creating the perfect metabolic storm.

Some restaurants are switching from seed oils to tallow, a stable fat that doesn’t form the same inflammatory compounds at high heat.
This shift signals growing awareness that we got it wrong about animal fats. It's progress, but it's just one piece of fixing our broken food system.
We still need regenerative agriculture, whole foods, and transparency in how our food is produced.

Our food system creates metabolic chaos, but YOU have the power to make different choices.
Perfect eating may not exist, but informed eating does.
Your body wants to heal! The inflammation driving diabetes didn't happen overnight, and it won't reverse overnight - but small changes compound over time. Every better choice moves you in the right direction..

Some healthier swaps:
-Make sweet potato fries at home with avocado oil
-Choose restaurants using tallow when possible
-Sub fries for roasted vegetables or side salad
Remember: It's not just fries - limit ALL fried foods
The power to change your metabolic health is literally on your plate.
