"For a snack, choose an apple or pear instead of potato chips or pretzels, or grapes instead of raisins. Fresh fruit is much lower in calories than potato chips and also contains many fewer food-derived glycotoxins than potato chips, which are fried or baked in oil at high temperatures. When making egg or chicken salad, reduce the amount of the main ingredient by half, and substitute chopped celery and green pepper, shredded carrot, or radish and minced onion." - Steven V.

"You can find natural potato chips, natural granola bars and all sorts of other natural-sounding products that really aren't natural at all. The word "natural" means nothing in the food industry. There is no regulation about using the word natural, and there is no rigid definition. Anybody can claim their product is natural. Thus, there are granola bars, made with refined grains and added sugars, that are called natural granola bars. There are potato chips, deep-fried in oils containing trans fatty acids and acrylamides that are called natural potato chips." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Sixty years ago potato chips were uncommon, as were fast-food restaurants with their french fries. The current generation eats an estimated 80-95% of its diet cooked. For some, the only raw food consists of the lettuce and tomato on the burger at the fast-food restaurant! When my grandmother was on her deathbed, she craved strawberries. 1 wonder what this generation of Americans will crave: Pop*Tarts? Twinkies? Big Macs? Recently gathered statistics reveal that the current generation is horren-dously unhealthy." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Overeating usually leads to intestinal congestion, the proliferation of destructive bacteria and yeast, as well as cravings for "energizing, " which really means energy-depleting, foods and beverages such as sugar, sweets, white flour products, potato chips, chocolate, coffee, tea, and soft drinks. Constant cravings for any of these foods or beverages indicate cellular starvation. Such starvation at the cellular level may force the weakest cells in the body to undergo genetic mutation." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Trans fats are typically found in commercially processed foods that have been prepared under conditions of high heat, such as snack foods (for example, potato chips and roasted nuts), frozen foods (including entrees, snacks, whole dinners, desserts), commercially made cookies and crackers, packaged dinners, and baked goods ?saturated fat, found primarily in animal products (meat, poultry, whole-fat milk and dairy products, lard) The bottom line is this: think olive oil, fish, and green leafy vegetables, and go light on meats and processed foods." - Steven V.

"She started the day with a bagel and cheese, had a cafeteria lunch, chocolates in the afternoon, and a healthy dinner followed by hinging on ice cream, potato chips, and Cheerios. She also complained of gas and bloating. She also ate a lot of dairy, which a lot of people (this woman included) are sensitive to. This is a story I hear all too often. The good news is that there was a simple solution for Maureen that didn't involve taking medication." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Another chemical carcinogen concern surrounds acrylamide, which is primarily found in processed or fried foods like potato chips. The implication is that if we could effectively remove this chemical from potato chips, they would be safe to eat, even though they continue to be highly unhealthy, processed slices of potatoes drenched with fat and salt. So many of us seem to want a scapegoat. We do not want to hear that our favorite foods are a problem simply because of their nutritional content." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M.

"Fuhrman said, "are potato chips and French fries and donuts and trans-fat-containing sweets and sausages and luncheon meats, pickled, smoked, and barbecued meats. These things that we call 'kid-friendly foods' and put on the kids' menus are in fact the most dangerous foods we can feed children." Dr. Fuhrman wasn't the only doctor I interviewed who commented on these disturbing trends in children's diets. "It's not as if we're finding a 'deficiency' as we'd normally define it, but kids are not eating fresh foods," Dr. Frederica Perera said. " - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "This is how we re raising Wyatt—it's not as if we never, ever permit potato chips to cross the threshold of our kitchen. Not at all; absolute denial is never a good idea. We do keep chips in our house, but instead of munching them thoughtlessly every day of the week, we save them for a treat—once a month, or every other weekend on a Saturday night, or during a Sunday ball game. Ordering in a pizza, or eating out in a restaurant, also counts as a blue moon treat. The rest of the time, we stick to a healthy, whole food, organic, vegan diet." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!)

"While the safe limit set for acrylamide in food is ten parts per billion (ppb), French fries and potato chips have been found to contain more than one hundred times this amount! The worst foods are fast-food French fries, potato chips, and crispbread. According to British research, Lay's Classic potato chips averaged 1350 ppb and Pringles 1,500 ppb in surveys conducted in 2003. Ryvita contained between 1,340 and 4,000 ppb. In America, McDonald's French fries, followed by Burger King's, came out worst. However, even home-cooked French fries were found to be high." - Patrick Holford, The New Optimum Nutrition Bible (Get the book.)

"I would tell my parents I needed like four dollars for this special typing paper—and would go to the little grocery store and buy Twinkies, Wise potato chips, and as many other snacks as I could afford and hide them in my backpack. I would binge on cake or cookies my mother would bake and lie, saying I needed to bring them to school. I was missing some sort of attention and my old friends, I imagine, at the time it started. But I just got fat, without getting friends." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"As you recall, Drewnowski found that a dollar could buy 1,200 calories of cookies or potato chips, but only 250 calories of carrots; that his dollar bought 875 calories of soda but only 170 calories of orange juice.2 According to the USDA Economic Research Service, between 1982 and 1997, the cost increases for these (diabetogenic) foods were as follows: dairy products 47 percent; fats and oils 47 percent; meat, poultry, and fish 49 percent; sugar and sweets 52 percent." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Sprinkle browned sweet potato chips with lime juice. Serve and enjoy! break it down . . .

Did you know . . . tea that comes in the form of tea bags may be healthier than loose varieties? The tea in tea bags tends to be ground finer, providing more surface area to extract more health-promoting polyphenols (antioxidants) when submerged in hot water. What's the Story?" - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"Yet the amounts found in an ordinary bag of potato chips are 500 times the amounts allowed in a single glass of water by the World Health Organization. Briefly, there was even a law in force in California requiring potato chip manufacturers to put cancer warnings on their packages! Most did not comply with the law. There were also supposed to be cancer-warning labels on the food ordered most often at American restaurants: french fries! Had this law remained in force, would parents who fed their children fries and chips have been charged with child abuse?" - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"There are potato chips, deep-fried in oils containing trans fatty acids and acrylamides that are called natural potato chips. The food companies hope you will believe you're a smart consumer by buying these natural products. In fact, you've been manipulated yet again; exploited by a marketing gimmick that means absolutely nothing in the real world. The only products that are natural are products that don't even have a label that could carry the word "natural." Broccoli is natural. Apples are natural. You're not going to see the word "natural" slapped on an apple, a carrot or a red pepper." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"For example, a pregnant woman may crave pickles or potato chips because her body knows that more sodium is needed during pregnancy, and her mind is suggesting foods that it "remembers" as being high in what's needed. But if raw foods that are naturally high in sodium, such as celery, spinach or seaweed, are presented for smell/taste testing, the mother's body will likely choose one of those instead. The morning sickness problem has a ready-made solution in Natural Hygiene ?fasting!" - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Take for example, French fries or potato chips. Although they are well known to contain carcinogenic fats and harmful additives/preservatives, millions of American children and adults consume them day after day in large quantities. Do the following experiment: The next time you order French fries at McDonalds or a similar fast food restaurant, take some of them home with you, and leave them in an open space. You will discover that they will not decompose or even change color (unlike French fries made from fresh potatoes which will quickly shrivel up, turn grey and become moldy)." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Acrylamide was accidentally discovered in foods in April 2002 by scientists in Sweden when they found large amounts of the chemical in potato chips, French fries and bread that had been heated at temperatures above 120 degrees Centigrade (250 degrees Fahrenheit). Prior to that, acrylamide was believed to be a solely industrial chemical. The production of acrylamide in the heating process was shown to be clearly temperature-dependent. Over-cooking and microwaving foods may also produce large amounts of acrylamide. Boiled and unheated foods don't contain acrylamide." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"We might also serve some plain salted potato chips with the dips. (Potato chips are deep fried and therefore not ideal, but they pass as a cheat for special occasions.) Check that they contain no MSG (mono-sodium glutamate) or other additives. I also prefer the organic selection that is now available. Our main course is more often than not a pasta and vegetable dish (a better combination than pasta and meat), always accompanied by a large, fresh salad. The vegetable sauces I find most popular are a homemade tomato sauce (Napolitano) and a creamy mushroom sauce made with fresh organic cream." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"Since early man did not have easy access to salt, he didn't have to worry about eating too many salted potato chips and having his blood pressure go through the roof. In fact, for water retention, salt served an important purpose: It was a good thing if you were living on the savannah and wouldn't be eating or drinking for several hours. If you live in twenty-first-century America and eat fast food three times a day, however, it's a bad thing. Ancient man also got more exercise, ate less food in general (not by choice), and didn't smoke, take drugs, or drink alcohol." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Considering the huge and ever-increasing consumption of aerated drinks, alcohol, canned and frozen foods in general, fried snack foods, potato chips, french fries, ice cream, hot dogs, hamburgers, chocolate and candies, is it any wonder that the health and well-being of Western societies is being affected? Add to this the increasing use of refined white flour rather than wholemeal, salt, sugar, tea and coffee, and the picture gets gloomier. Food is being heavily refined, and preservatives and artificial colourings added. Nutrients are lost from the refined end products." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"But before you jump up and down about how you just knew that pasta, potato chips, Big Macs, ice cream, and cookies were good for you because a deep-seated urge draws you to them, I've got some bad news for you. Your hardwiring is there to make sure you perpetuate the life of your genes and others like them via offspring; it has nothing to do with sustaining or improving your life. Next time you watch the space shuttle launched into orbit, watch what happens to the two booster rockets when their fuel is used up: they're jettisoned!" - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.) "Think about this for a minute, or even try this experiment: Get equal-size bags of potato chips and romaine-they'll weigh about the same. Eat all the lettuce and check how full you feel. Later in the day, eat the chips and see whether you feel equally full. You'll find that both fill you up equally well. But with the chips, you'll have chowed down close to 1,000 calories, much in the form of trans fats, while the lettuce contains a mere 35 calories and is replete with protein and micronutrients." - Dr. Steven R.

"Anything manufactured that contains additives is of course suspect: biscuits, potato chips, cakes, aerated drinks, cordials and ice cream may all cause asthma. You can probably add your own triggers to this list. Some infant milk preparations contain vegetable oil derived from peanuts, and an article in the Lancet of 29 May 1993 suggested this is possibly responsible for the increased incidence among children of an allergic sensitivity to peanuts." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)
