Hi! I have raised this question before. The recent finding is that acrylamide (a highly neurotoxic chemical) is formed when we bake or cook potato in high heat. For some reason, people thought that this might cause cancer. I understand that a recent study has given the good news - "this does not cause cancer in humans". But, nobody seems to worry about the neurotoxic effect of potato chips as a possible causative agent of PD. Anyway, I have stopped eating french fries until some study finds out about its effect on the nervous sysem.
