Global Potato Processing Market Challenge:
Increasing Prevalence Of Ailments Owing To Consumption Of Fried Snacks Is Hindering Market Growth:
Increased consumption of potato chips has been linked to diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular illnesses, and cancer. Besides, the risk of developing conditions such as stroke and obesity also significantly rise with high levels of fried potato products consumption. For instance, a study conducted on 4,440 individuals aged between 45-79, found that over a period of eight years, those who ate fried potatoes such as French fries, hash browns, and potato chips two or more times a week had double the risk of early death than those who did not eat fried potatoes. The higher risk is attributed to the presence of cooking oil, rich in trans-fat in fried potato products. Trans fat has been shown to boost levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood, which can lead to heart disease.
