Abstract 
  
 Background: Few studies have assessed the association between potato consumption and mortality. 
  
 Objective: We investigated whether potato consumption (including fried and unfried potatoes) is associated with increased premature mortality risk in a North American cohort. 
  
 Design: A longitudinal analysis included 4440 participants aged 45–79 y at baseline with an 8-y follow-up from the Osteoarthritis Initiative cohort study. Potato consumption (including fried and unfried potatoes) was analyzed by using a Block Brief 2000 food-frequency questionnaire and categorized as ≤1 time/mo, 2–3 times/mo, 1 time/wk, 2 times/wk, or ≥3 times/wk. Mortality was ascertained through validated cases of death. To investigate the association between potato consumption and mortality, Cox regression models were constructed to estimate HRs with 95% CIs, with adjustment for potential confounders. 
  
 Results: Of the 4400 participants, 2551 (57.9%) were women with a mean ± SD age of 61.3 ± 9.2 y. During the 8-y follow-up, 236 participants died. After adjustment for 14 potential baseline confounders, and taking those with the lowest consumption of potatoes as the reference group, participants with the highest consumption of potatoes did not show an increased risk of overall mortality (HR: 1.11; 95% CI: 0.65, 1.91). However, subgroup analyses indicated that participants who consumed fried potatoes 2–3 times/wk (HR: 1.95; 95% CI: 1.11, 3.41) and ≥3 times/wk (HR: 2.26; 95% CI: 1.15, 4.47) were at an increased risk of mortality. The consumption of unfried potatoes was not associated with an increased mortality risk. 
  
 Conclusions: The frequent consumption of fried potatoes appears to be associated with an increased mortality risk. Additional studies in larger sample sizes should be performed to confirm if overall potato consumption is associated with higher mortality risk. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00080171. ||||| TIME Health For more, visit TIME Health 
  
 People have long known French fries aren’t great for your health—but now a study has linked eating fried potatoes at least twice a week with an increased risk of death. 
  
 The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, looked at potato consumption in 4,400 older people between ages 45 and 79 over the course of eight years. By the end of the study, 236 people had died. 
  
 After adjusting for several factors, eating potatoes overall (even a lot of them) did not increase a person’s risk for death. But when researchers looked more closely at the types of potatoes people were eating, they found that eating fried potatoes—including French fries, fried potatoes and hash browns—at least two times per week was linked to a more than doubled risk of death. Eating unfried potatoes, such as potato salad and boiled, baked and mashed potatoes, was not linked to an increased risk of death.

 Unfried white potatoes are a relatively healthy food because they contain a good amount of fiber, vitamins and micronutrients, the study authors write, which “could have counterbalanced the detrimental effects of their high glycemic index.” Fried potatoes, however, typically have lots of fat and added salt. For now, the link is merely an association, and more research with larger groups of people is needed to investigate the link before saying that overeating fries causes an increased risk of death. 
  
 Until then, the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion recommends 3–5 servings of vegetables per day. While starchy vegetables like potatoes count towards that goal, the center’s food pyramid instructs people to choose preparations of vegetables that are low in fat—not fried. ||||| share tweet pin email 
  
 If there's one thing we've learned reading health studies, it's that everything will kill us. Seriously. Everything. 
  
 So it's OK to take this latest news with a grain of salt (and a side of ketchup). We just want to keep the people informed, you know? 
  
 A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has linked eating fried potatoes — including french fries, home fries, curly fries, waffle fries, hash browns, tater tots, jojos, and any other variation we might have forgotten — at least twice a week with an increased risk of death.

 The study tracked the potato consumption of 4,400 adults between ages 45 and 79 over the course of eight years. By the end of the study, 236 people had died. 
  
 According to researchers, the twice-weekly fry consumption more than doubled the risk of death. And it's not the potatoes that are the problem — eating them boiled, baked or mashed didn't pose the same risks. 
  
 It's the fried ones that'll get you. (Especially the crispy ones.) 
  
 Now, we don't think anyone was laboring under the delusion that french fries are a health food (though in some school districts, they are considered a vegetable). This warning probably doesn't apply to the casual fry enthusiast who tucks into the odd plate of grease on special occasions. 
  
 But relying excessively on fast food for midweek dinners, or grabbing fries as a side every day for lunch? Yeah, that could be problematic. 
  
 The study is unclear as to what exactly caused the correlation. Most french fries have a lot of added salt and fat, both of which can be taxing to the system. It's also possible that the adults who were consistently reaching for fries had nutrient-poor diets overall. |||||
Potatoes are a relatively healthy vegetable, packed with enough fiber, vitamins, and micronutrients to "counterbalance the detrimental effects of their high glycemic index," researchers note in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Unfortunately, it is what we do to them before we eat them that drains all the life out of them—and runs down our own life expectancy in the process. French fries, home fries, curly fries, waffle fries, hash browns, tater tots, jojos, and so forth are all loaded with fat, salt, and when adulterated with ketchup, sugar as well, and eating them at least twice a week more than doubles a person's risk of death, reports Today. To study this, researchers looked at the potato habits of 4,400 adults ages 45 to 79 over an eight-year stretch. By the end of the study, 236 people had died, and yes, the more fried potatoes they ate, the more likely those participants were to be among the dead. This does not demonstrate cause and effect, reports Time—people who eat fried potatoes might be more likely to eat other fried foods, or exercise less, or any other number of things that are instead (or also) a culprit—but it's not a big leap to conclude that a steady diet of fried potatoes isn't helping matters. For now, the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion recommends three to five servings of vegetables per day that are prepared low in fat—think roasting and steaming.
