After analyzing the lifestyle habits of 120,877 men and women over a period of 1,570,808 person-years, a study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine claims that increased consumption of potato chips makes you fat faster than anything else you could eat. This changes everything.
Thank you, Harvard University scientists, for this precious information! No, don’t waste your time curing cancer and other unimportant conditions like HIV/AIDS, those can wait, this is what everyone was aching to know. This is the breakthrough discovery of 2011 right here. I’m so ecstatic right now that I’m gonna go out on the street and rip my shirt off in celebration.
The dietary factors with the largest positive associations with weight changes, per serving per day, were increases in the consumption of potato chips (1.69 lb), potatoes (1.28 lb), sugar-sweetened beverages (1.00 lb), unprocessed red meats (0.95 lb), and processed meats (0.93 lb).
