Why does frying food make it unhealthy?
In: Other
It’s not. That came from a flawed study back maybe in the 50’s which actually recommended people give up animal fats and switch to shortening, the popular new lard substitute. Those were loaded with hydrogenated carbon chains that were eventually found to be really unhealthy and should be avoided.
I cook mainly with olive oil,peanut oil, butter, or lard. If you are concerned with calories you can fry in very little oil and you should be sure the oil is hot so that not very much is absorbed into the food. Sit the food briefly on paper towels to pull off any excess oil,press another on top if you think necessary. fat is necessary for health and makes some food delicious, but use sparingly, just like protein and carbs.
