According to a survey by the Indonesian Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), Indonesian people generally frequently consume fatty, high-cholesterol, or fried foods.

In 2023, 51.7% of the population aged 3 years and older consumed such foods 1-6 times per week. Furthermore, 37.4% consumed them once a day or more.

Meanwhile, only 11% rarely eat fatty, high-cholesterol, or fried foods, with a consumption frequency of 3 times per month or less.

High consumption of fried foods can pose health risks.

"Excessive consumption of fried foods should be avoided as it increases the risk of various non-communicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, stroke, atherosclerosis, and colon cancer," said Professor Katrin Rosita, Professor of Nutrition at IPB University, as reported by CNN Indonesia (9/4/2024).

"Based on a Harvard Medical School study, consuming 114 grams of fried food per day can increase the risk of various arterial blockage diseases, heart failure, and stroke by 3%. 114 grams is approximately 2 standard-sized pieces of fried food," she said.

Prof. Katrin Rosita stated that consuming more than 2 pieces of fried food a day is acceptable "occasionally," but not every day.
