not only because of the fat and salt, but also because of acrylamid, which is toxic and causes cancer.
It introduces pernament inflammation in the organism, which leads to Atherosclerosis and Ischaemic heart disease

Acrylamid is present in cosmetics; water; and in cigarettes.

Acrylamid is present in corn flakes and crunchy bread (?).

[Lancer]

I would have thought that the grand discovery of Polish scientists is that there >>are<< Polish scientists.

Their grand discovery is wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylamide

Acrylamide was accidentally discovered in foods in April 2002 by scientists in Sweden when they found large amounts of the chemical in starchy foods, such as potato chips, French fries and bread that had been heated (production of acrylamide in the heating process was shown to be temperature-dependent).

French Fries are evil of course.
Freedom Fries are much better.

What's better is that a later study actually showed Acrylamide *reduced* bowel cancer risk by a significant portion; and in any event, the "no adverse effect observed level" (ie, 'safe' level) is something like 13kg of french fries/chips for a 40kg child. If you're eating >13kg of french fries at 40kg body mass, you more than likely have much more severe problems than cancer or infertility...

[Blaupanzer]

Didn't mention cancer or fertility issues. Got something on your mind, Snoop? Did mention increased risk of various forms of heart disease as a tradeoff for a lessened risk of intestinal cancer. Wonder if we are all going to face such choices more and more?

[Traianvs]

Everyone knows the authentic good French fries are Belgian instead of those awful French frenched fries

[Heresson]

their discovery was not that there is acrylamide in potato chips, but that it causes heart problems.
