National Safe Food Day - Oil becomes less safe each time it's reused

Author

Snacks that are fried in oil that's heated again and again are unsafe. Each reheating breaks the oil down, forming harmful compounds like trans fats and free radicals. These damage blood vessels, increase bad cholesterol, strain the liver, and raise the risk of heart disease. The food may taste the same, but the oil becomes less safe each time it’s reused. Good health is about avoiding foods prepared from reused cooking oil, limiting deep - fried foods and choosing fresher, home-cooked options whenever possible. Small, steady choices keep your body protected. Happy National Safe Food Day!
