What are the primary health risks associated with excessive alloco consumption, and what specific data supports these risks?

Alloco, a popular fried plantain dish in West and Central Africa, is high in calories (400-450 kcal per 200g serving) and fat (20-25g per serving), primarily due to the frying process. This high fat content, especially if fried in unhealthy oils or reused oil, significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular issues and weight gain if consumed excessively.
