Alicia Mackey Huber says fried foods create compounds that trigger inflammation lasting 48 hours, compared to four to eight hours from smoking a cigarette. She argues the frying process makes fried foods not truly food, and warns they damage brain health.
When you order your dinner tonight, if it says fried on the menu, it's not food. And when you read Superhuman and yes, I'm telling you straight up, buy the book. It won't change my life if you do. I wrote this thing with thousands of hours to change your life. But if you read that I talk about advanced glycation end products and these other things that are formally fry your food. It's a simple thing to do, but if you want your brain to work for a long period of time, this will cause inflammation for days, at least 48 hours. Smoking a cigarette is going to give you four to eight hours of inflammation. So seriously, skip the fries and smoke a cigarette. You'll be better off.
