Hot Chips Cause Cancer
Some of scientists around world have studied the French Fried , and pointed out there is a very dangerous chemical substance-acrylamide in the Hot Chips.

This chemical is commonly used in plastics and dyes, the scientists supposed this dangerous substance in the hot chips during the cooking process.


Take-away Food dangerous
Some reserch from Japanese university found that the monosodium glutamate- MSG( usually used in Asian food for enhancing flavour) in the Asian take-away food, especially in Chinese take-away food would damage human being's eyes sight.
The reserchers used the rats to proof that. If the rats were fed by lots of MSG in their food for six months, the high risk for the rats' eyes damaged by MSG. So it is more risky for our eyes' sight if we eat more Chinese take-away food.

All in all, it is wise for us that we should aviod to eat hot chips and Asian take-away food as possible as we can, and try to have a healthy diet for our long-term health.

Do restaurants in China use MSG too? Is that one of the reasons why Chinese people have poor eyesight?
