Deep Fried Mars Bar: The tastiest heart stopper on earth, or is it?

Monday, June 6, 2011 0 comments
OK, I admit, some comfort foods are just wrong. But in what way?

Taste? No, this one is glorious, hot, melty, battered, chocolaty yuminess!

Expensive? Well its just a $3.00 chocolate bar dipped in batter and deep fried.

Healthy? Hmmmm OK!
Like so many comfort foods, this has to be eaten in moderation, perhaps even, extreme moderation!

So why does it give many healthy eating experts the same result they say you'll get if you eat it...a heart attack!

"Morrison and Petticrew surveyed around 300 Scottish fast food restaurants that sell Britain's most popular meal: fish and chips (fries). They found 22 percent of these "chip shops" also served deep-fried Mars bars (a Milky Way in the U.S.). Each contains more than 420 calories."
According to http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/12/1227_041227_deep_fried_mars_bars.html

So how many calories does a Mars Bar contain, when it's not deep fried?

Calories in 100g of Mars Bar = 448.0 cals!
According to http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/calories/calorie_counter/chocolate_sweets.htm

So, what can you conclude from this?

Enjoy all things in moderation of course and really don't take what you find online for granted.

If you like it..enjoy it..just do it in moderation.
