The Unknown Dangers of Fried Foods & Re-using Oil

Tips On Eating Fried Foods

  • Avoid the use of hydrogenated oils. They contain a lot of trans fats that have been associated with serious heart health conditions, obesity and diabetes.
  • If you must, consume only occasionally and combine with health foods that are low in calorie.

Like it was mentioned in one of the articles previously-written on this site – Best Anti-ageing Foods To Include In Your Diet, it was mentioned that trans fats help accelerate the ageing process. Poor-quality foods, like trans fats, cause inflammation — and ageing is basically a chronic inflammatory state.

Very good and timely post. I love potatoes and deep frying them for chips. Have some at the moment. Guess God was trying to tell me enough is enough ☺

@Nessa, fried potatoes I love but considering the fact that once you deep fat fry it, the calorie value of the food doubles, there is need for me keep check on it. Also, most of these road side potato chips were fried using very terrible oils in their quest to make profit. My advise, if you must consume them, do it once in a while or make yours at home.

Thanks so much for this information. I’ve known the value of Omega 3 oils though not so much available for example on the local market.
My anger is so much on these ladies,they don’t want to prepare healthy foods apart from fatty meals every time!!
