I’m not sure I understand your question about oreos.

But when you fry food you are soaking it in oil, which adds a lot of calories.
There isn’t anything special or magical about this. It just means you are basically eating *more food* and since in the developed world most of us are already eating to much food that is unhealthy.

It’s the same as saying “if I add a stick of butter to this salad it’s unhealthy” doesn’t have anything to do with breaking down the salad. It’s just that you are a stick of butter.
