Chips are maybe considered to be healthy because they are usually made of potatoes and with vegetable oil (type of oil used depending on chip brand). But recent research has found that chips are very high cholesterol and sometimes have bad chemicals in them to alter the flavor. Overall, chips are quite unhealthy.

Yes. Chips are a sometimes food. They are smothered in salt and oil and have a low nutrient content. Eating chips once in a while, is perfectly fine. However, eating them on a regular basis will result in you gradually putting on some weight and that will lead to obesity.

Well, they have 240 calories, 11g of fat, 260mg of sodium, 33g of carbohydrates, 4g of fibre, 4g of sugar, 4g of protein, and a touch of vitamins, calcium, and iron. I don't think that seems really bad.

Yes. Potato chips are dry in content, in any form or cooked, and can cause acne.
