Tag: Junk food comparison

According to the World Health Organization, the average daily sodium intake for adults is more than double the recommended amount, often from processed foods like chips. This fact, along with the well-known detriments of high sugar consumption from candy, raises the question: is it better to eat chips than candy? The answer is more complex than it seems.

According to nutritional data from several comparisons, potato chips contain nearly double the calories and fat of french fries per 100-gram serving. This stark difference raises the important question: what's worse for you, chips or fries?

But when we put these two popular snacks head-to-head, are crisps worse than chocolate, or is the answer more nuanced than a simple yes or no? This comparison goes beyond taste preferences to examine the nutritional profiles, health impacts, and the surprising truth behind which snack might be doing more damage to your body.
