A member asked:

Are packaged potato chips (for example lay's) carcinogens or otherwise harmful because they're repeatedly fried in vegetable oils? lets assume you buy the low sodium version and the ingredients are just potatoes and vegetable oils?

Packaged potato chips, such as Lay's, are not considered to be carcinogenic. However, consuming them in excess can lead to health problems. The main concern with potato chips is the fact that they are high in calories, fat, and sodium. The repeated frying process used to make potato chips can also result in the formation of acrylamide, a potentially harmful chemical compound.
