- nate_meurer 11y agoDo you happen to have any references for the risk of high temp oil usage? I've long been suspicious of deep frying precisely because I fear the health effects of oxidized oils, but there doesn't seem to be much data regarding this specific aspect of fried foods.
- ak39 11y agoNone! :-( Thanks, you made me do some reading. There is no evidence that heating oils beyond their smoke points turns then into trans fats (or where their consumption is particularly dangerous for heart health). There are dangers of carcinogenic factors of using oils near or beyond their smoke points but that's not to be confused with issues affecting heart health. Thanks!
