When converted insame unit, it can be found that oil andfat content are no different in bothfired and baked potato chips.
Ingredients
Here we also take Lay’s fried potatochips and baked potato chips as anexample.
The ingredients for the fried chips arevery simple: potatoes, vegetable oiland salt. While in baked potato chips,the ingredients are dried potatoes,corn starch, sugar, corn oil, salt, soylecithin and corn sugar. Driedpotatoes, as not stated, are not evenfresh potatoes.
In addition, corn starch, corn oil, andsoy lecithin are used and since theyare not organic, there is a highlikelihood that these ingredients arefrom genetically modified (GMO)sources.
Baked potato chips may have fewercalories and lower fat content, but itdepends on the brand. A serving ofregular plain potato chips has about150 calories, while a serving of bakedchips has around 130. When youtaking added ingredients into account,you may find the fat content in bakedpotato chips are high than fried ones.
But where traditional junk food may have had marginally more calories and a bit more salt, what it never had was a “health halo”. No one ever would have confused chips and chocolate bars with healthful choices. All these so-called healthy alternatives to fried junk food potato chips were totally a trick.
