No one should be eating fried foods in the first place. It's asking for trouble to do so. Even if you're not overweight, it's a really poor dietary practice. You'd be getting too many calories from fat instead of more nutritious fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains etc. The goal, to achieve good health and longevity, is to get the most nutrition possible while consuming the least number of calories.

A lot of cellular damage comes from burning calories because "free radicals" are created in the process. Cells can repair themselves quickly but when DNA is damaged perhaps millions of times per day, it leaves the door open for repair-errors. This can lead to cancer and other health issues like speeding up the aging process. This is why the "CRON" diet was developed. CRON stands for Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition. (Stuffing yourself with fried foods and processed foods is the exact opposite.)
