would you like fries with that the
answer to that question is usually a big
fat yes
we eat more french fries than anyone in
the world 86 pounds of fried potatoes a

in america now a harvard professor is

you shouldn't eat more than six french

six fries a serving good luck with that
this is what a serving of fries looks
like here at the morning star
diner in new york city i ordered a
hamburger and french fries for lunch and
counted
every single fry there are 64 fries
in this serving so how many fries is
okay
we asked dr oz whether it's six or
twelve it's a small number
basically single digit fries you should
be able to count them with your fingers
when you've finished up the number of
fries they're represented by your
fingers you should be done
if you eat them at all nutritionist
carrie glassman joined me for lunch
do we really have to limit ourselves to
just six fries a serving
i do not think we should be demonizing
the french fry
yes it is not a healthy food however
if you are living an overall healthy
lifestyle and eating lots of whole real
foods and
managing your stress and exercising go
ahead and have 26 fries
reaction to the harvard professor is
heating up on social media
tv host padma lakshmi tweeted a photo of
fry's and wrote
i don't have time for this type of
negativity in my life right now
the professor responded am i really a
monster
i was just suggesting
