Regularly eating fried food is linked with a heightened risk of death from any cause and heart-related death, among postmenopausal women, finds a US study in The BMJ today.
Foods such as fried chicken and fried fish/shellfish were associated with a higher risk of heart-related death, particularly among younger women in the study (aged 50-65 years old).
The researchers suggest that reducing consumption of fried foods, especially fried chicken and fried fish/shellfish, could have a positive public health impact.
Up to a third of North American adults have fast-food every day, and previous studies have suggested that a greater intake of fried food is associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
But evidence about the risk of death linked with eating fried foods is limited and subject to much debate.
So to address this, US researchers investigated the association of eating fried food with death from any cause, and in particular heart and cancer-related death.
[...] After taking account of potentially influential factors such as lifestyle, overall diet quality, education level and income, the researchers found that regularly eating fried foods was associated with a heightened risk of death from any cause and, specifically, heart-related death: those who ate one or more servings a day had an 8% higher risk compared with those who did not eat fried food.
[...] But the researchers found no evidence that eating fried food was associated with cancer-related death.
[...] But the authors highlight the large size and diversity of the study sample, and say that "we have identified a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality that is readily modifiable by lifestyle."

That site thinks I didn't just copy one paragraph because it uses Javascript to disable the Clipboard.
In reality, I just could not be bothered to disable then reload.

It's amazing the amount of plagiarism that goes on in fan fiction circles, which is why they do the disable copying thing. One of my stories that I'd written back in the days of my callow youth got put up on fanfiction.net by someone else, stolen from a different site that I'd put it up on years and years ago. Unfortunately for the plagiarist I'd also posted it on the associated Usenet group (like I said, years ago), which was archived, thus I could prove I'd written it and not him. Not that I was worried about fan fiction at that point, but it irked me and how will people learn if you don't destroy them?
(okay, okay, the plagiarist was a teenager, and we've all done stupid things as a teen, so I told him to take it down and go sin no more... or I'd use the social media profiles and info of him I'd spent weeks gathering and let all his contacts know what he did. He took it down, so end of story. I hope he learned something.)

I assumed the original AC was referring to Snow(1601) who keeps writing journals about picking up chicks for a quickie. https://soylentnews.org/~Snow/journal/ [soylentnews.org]
