bomb beach is packed the treasure ghast. This is the
Brian mud Show and here's the story that is dedicated
to Joel.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
It is French fried. The tasty treat is linked to
higher diabetes risk.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Trying to make me hungry this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Well that's all I've got to do is mention fries
pretty much. Okay, Well see how this does for you then,
Because this is a new thing, I oor maybe an
old thing they knew again based upon your knowledge of it.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Six collectible tens with a side of nostalgia. McDonald's new
adult happy meals bring back its classic characters. The new
Welcome to McDonaldland meal features Ronald McDonald, Grimace, Birdie, Hamburglar
and the Fry Friends. And don't worry, even though Mayor
mccheese hasn't been seen since nineteen eighty three, he's also
returning for the promotion. The meal comes with a quarter
(01:03):
pounder with cheese or ten piece McNuggets, plus fries and
a shake named for Mount McDonald land.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
There you go, just take me straight to the hospital afterwards.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Place. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
They first released these back in June of twenty twenty three.
So these I did remember these, not not me. I
did not get one, but somebody in my householded.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
So it's like, how can we pack as much the botchery,
not the shake though, into one thing. You have quarter
founder fries and a shake. Some people like to do
these because of the because of the toy. It's nostalgia
for going back, because you don't get the nostalagy.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
They don't.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
They don't use the hamburglar and the one of the
fry guys. I didn't even remember the name of the
those little guys. But but yeah, it's a lot of
that's for that. But yeah, the food is the food.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So on that note, a newly published Harvard study tracked
over two hundred and five thousand Americans over many years
decades actually found that frequent consumption of French fries associated
with a twenty percent increased risk of type two diabetes
for every three additional weekly servings. So you get to three,
(02:18):
you're not that bad. He's like a peak. What were
you you might have.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Been and probably three or four okay, yeah, so in
a seven day yeah, seven day week, that's.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Where we're taking on.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You get to three or more servants of French fries
and that'll kno, get twenty percent increased risk for type
two diabetes. So here's the thing, though, it's not the potato.
People want to blame that it's not the potato. In contrast, baked, boiled,
or mashed potatoes showed no sthing significant link to diabetes risk.
(02:51):
So you could eat the three servings of just a
potato in the other forms, yeah, no issues. You fry them,
now you got to issue. So my original thought was that,
you know, maybe carbs. Yeah, it's not the carbs. So clearly, yeah,
it's something the weight that it's cooked. Yeah, it's the frying.
So the research spanning five point two million person years
(03:13):
identified that there were twenty two thousand, two hundred and
ninety nine cases of type two diabetes in their multi
decade study directly linked to fried consumption.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
A lot of times you might think about sweet things
or French fries. French fries could be the culprit. Now
one of the things that not that I think anybody
who was like, hey, that adult happy meal is is thinking,
you know, or I could go some brown rice or quenoa.
But they did in the study, take a look at
(03:46):
people who did replace three weekly servings of French fries
with whole grains, brown rice king one of that kind,
and doing that lowered diabetes risk by nineteen percent. So
in the event that you did break healthy way, not
only would you not be out of twenty percent increase
risk for diabetes, but you actually lower your risk whatever
it is.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
By nineteen percent even if you have the shake. That's
the whole other issue.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I mean, you're again, if you're taking a look at
the adult happy meal and saying, you know what I
need to be doing today, I'm sure there's all kinds
of risk associated with your let me triple down.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, consumption habits are are definitely going to be called
into questions. So anyway, the data I mentioned came from
over two hundred and five thousand people. What they did
is they checked in every two to four years over
multiple decades, and that's what they ended up coming back with.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
So how many of those people were still never mind up? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:46):
All right, let's get a look at some Florida headlines
and no reports of any major issues with yesterday's first
day back to school and pom Beach County and the
treasure cost. Meanwhile, Palm Beach County will be opening its
books to state auditors. The Florida Dose Team sent a
letter to County Mayor Maria Marino last week expressing concern
that the county has increased estimated property tax collections by
(05:06):
almost four hundred and eighty million.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Dollars over the last five years.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
A DOGE team will be in the county next week
to examine the county's finances to day visit expected to
take place Monday and Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
And FPL was.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Granted a motion to suspend technical hearings on a four
year rate hike. Clorida Public Service Commission yesterday accepted the
company's request ahead of when the hearings were about to start.
Fl and Key stakeholders will now work on a final
agreement to be filed August twenty. If the original rate
hike proposal whatever raise nearly ten billion dollars, that's money
FBL says is necessary to keep up with future demand.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Brian, if anyone wants to organize a parade for Doze
coming to Palm Beach County, I'll help
