Pringleoids contain so little actually potato they can't even legally be called potato chips. Might as well eat some mixed cheap highly refined highly processed flours with much of any real nutritional goodness that may have been present in the original unrefined grain removed. But dont forget to add the acrylamide to which Pringleoids, Fritosoieds, other "chips" - baked or fried, french fries, bakery products(donuts), coffee, and TOBACCO smoke are major culprits. One of the carcinogens the tobacco industry was found to be hiding the health risks of to the public was acrylamide. Mickey Dees received a bad rep for the acrylamide in their fries which were 300X the legal limit of this carcinogen.
