No Direct Correlation Between Fried Food and Heart Disease

Thread Starter 

One year fried food is bad and the next year fried food is fine. I guess we can keep eating fried foods this year.

 

"A new study has found that there is no direct correlation between the amount of fried food people eat and their risk of heart disease. Instead, the research found that long-term heart risk depended more on what kind of oil was used in the cooking process — olive oil and sunflower oil are considered the healthiest."

Unfortunately lard fried foods are the best tasting...LOL and olive oil isn't good for frying anyway. It is better used when not cooked too much.

Too true ChicksterJo. I fry my food usually in soybean or peanut oil. And My cholesterol is below normal. 

Three days slow... that's the problem... three days slow.

YB Normal?

We use olive oil a lot for frying and deep frying.  Its smoke point is one of the highest, making it a great choice for frying and deep frying temps.  Wish we could use it every time for deep frying but it's not always in the budget in those amounts.lol.png

Mediterranean cultures have used olive oil for cooking and "sauteeing"  (frying!) for thousands of years, and if I recall correctly, medical and sociological research has show that they have low levels of heart disease with a diet rich in olive oil, whole grains, seafood, and lots of fresh fruits and veggies, even though there is also a lot of cheese and other foods known for cholesterol and saturated fat.

 

I think that the main unhealthy thing about frying is not the act of frying in and of itself, but of using lard and beef tallow (animal fats contain cholesterol, while plant fats do not) as the frying agent instead of olive oil, sunflower seed oil, or other monosaturated or polyunsaturated oils.

I will have to say that virgin cold-pressed coconut oil is better than extra v. olive oil. Try it for frying :)
