Six hot chips in one sitting is barely a meal, but according to one researcher, it’s the healthiest result.

Harvard University’s Professor Eric Rim has told people that a half dozen fries is the most you should eat in one sitting.

He says that they are ‘starch bombs’ and are a key contributor to heart disease.

Part of the problem is that many chips get rid of the nutrient-rich skins.

However, there is some good news: people who don’t indulge in hot chips will only live on average six months longer than those that do indulge.
