Following the fascination of Krispy Kreme, Guatamela-based Pollo Campero is now a featured attraction in Chelsea. People are lining up by the hundreds just for a taste of this artery-clogging treat they call fried chicken. We know now that trans fats and saturated fats are the "bad fats-" so says the American Heart Association (http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=532). That being said, people continue to make negative nutrition choices.
Additionally, research from the Harvard School of Public Health has confirmed (http://caonline.amcancersoc.org/cgi/content/full/56/2/64) that several risk factors of cancer are modifiable. Excess consumption of fried foods is correlated to an increased risk for heart disease. My point is that with all this fried chicken eating, there's bound to be a further increase in obesity, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia- ALL preventable/modifiable. Our local heart surgeons are about to get richer. Thanks Pollo Campero!
