woot woot!! health alert!!!


Attention to all chips@french fries lovers~ Reconsider your love for the all times favourite food (including mine.sigh~) before it's too late!


I read an article in Health Today regarding the horrendous effect of eating chips. According to the article, chips/baked potatoes (jacket potato creavers..me again~sigh.)is categorised as a carcinogen which helps to promote cancer due to the way the potatoes are cooked.

So, before it's too late, eat wisely to stay healthy!

Na! i dont think you should worry too much about chips and jacket potatoes. From what i learnt, (baru je abeh exam on this subject), carcinogens like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are mainly from GRILLED or BURNT food (combusted organic matter, yg hitam2 hangit tu). pastu ada nitrosamines from preserved meat and also heterocyclic amines from proteins cooked at high temperature. anyway, should they actually be carcinogens, moderation in eating would be the key. =)

Carcinogens are present on Satays too.... thus the reason they used onions to accompany satays dishes. Onion to dampen the effect of carcinogens.

yep, i agree with what bro nas and ur bro have said. carcinogens are present in huge amounts in burnt/grilled food.

anyway satays are a foodie's must-have.haihh...
but be sure to eat the cucumber & onion slices too.
