Piles of chips have been an integral part of one of Britain’s favourite meals since “Granny” Duce opened the first fish and chip shop in Oldham in 1854.
A Harvard professor suggests that to preserve our health, however, we should cut down a bit. Or, indeed, a lot — to portions of no more than six chips.
Eric Rimm, of the university’s nutrition department, called chips “starch bombs” and said drastic reductions to our intake were needed to avoid life-threatening heart conditions. His comments were supported by medical professionals.

So if we don't die from chips or cancer or heart attack or that driving or coffee or alcohol or smoking etc we will live forever! I think not better to enjoy the time you have than worry worry worry just my thoughts

=D> =D> Ive been around for a while now , and for the last forty or so years there has always been a health alert on something or another .
These scare mongers get paid for coming up with this tripe .
I see this latest is American , and i would say that the amount of salt they put on your chips does more harm than the starch in the chip itself .

If you buy the multi pack s of "Lays" then you only get about 6 American "Chips" (Crisps to the rest of the world) in a packet anyway (13g)
