A new study says that the risk of heart failure raised by eating more fried foods. The lead researcher suggests that it might be wise to reduce the frequency and quantity of fried foods consumed weekly in order to prevent heart failure and other chronic conditions. In this study, men who ate fried food one to three times a week had an average 18 percent increased risk of developing heart failure, researchers found.

When fried food was eaten four to six times a week, heart failure risk was 25 percent higher, and at seven times or more weekly, 68 percent greater. The heart experts suggest to ditch the French fries, doughnuts, crispy fried fish and chicken, and other foods cooked in fat. http://blog.heart.org/the-more-fried-food-consumed-the-bigger-the-heart-failure-risk/
