Loaded up on French fries yesterday during the Super Bowl? Don’t worry, it may have been a healthy thing to do.

A new study has emerged that claims eating the often-perceived unhealthy snack may fight against cancer thanks to an abundance of vitamin C found in the fried potatoes, UK newspaper, the Daily Star reports.

"People who eat food rich in vitamin C are much less likely to suffer from cancer of the esophagus, cancer of the stomach and breast cancer," nutritionist Fiona Hunter told the news provider. "[Fries] contribute vitamin C, which is a powerful anti-oxidant that neutralizes the free radicals and stops them from damaging us."

Scientists found vitamin C reduced tumors in mice with aggressive brain, ovarian and pancreatic cancers by approximately 53 percent, according to the article. The fries also included such nutrients as vitamins B1 and B6, as well as fiber and iron.

By eating fries, which reportedly contain five times more vitamin C than grapes, some patients were able to gain better control over the blood pressure as well, states the Star.

However, those who may not be convinced that eating large amount of fries can be part of a healthy diet can turn to nutritional supplements of vitamin C.
