Cooking oil: Samosas fried in used oil can cause cancer! take this caution

Cooking Oil: There is hardly anyone who doesn’t get water in their mouth after seeing samosas and pakoras. It is very tasty to eat samosa, but consumption in excess is not considered good from a health point of view. There is a possibility of increasing cholesterol due to excessive consumption. If you are eating samosa at home or buying from outside, then definitely keep in mind whether it is fried in the same oil. If so, then you are inviting cancer.

Elements that cause cancer

Often it will be seen in the shops that the same oil is used many times. The samosas are fried several times in oil once poured into the pan. Let us tell you that when the same oil is used repeatedly in cooking, then free radicals are formed in it, which causes disease. By heating the oil, again and again, its smell ends and anti-oxidants are also not left in it, due to which cancer-causing elements are produced in it.

Danger of trans fat

Dr. Dipankar Vats of the Reality Hospital told that by the way, eating fried and fried things should be avoided. But the food cooked again and again in the same oil is equivalent to a poisonous substance. This oil increases the amount of trans fat significantly. Trans fat is considered to be the worst cholesterol, which increases the risk of heart-related diseases to a great extent.

Cause blockage in the arteries

Along with this, when the oil is heated repeatedly, its temperature and fat increase so much that there is a blockage in the arteries, and cholesterol increases. In such a situation, when this oil is used again, the elements present in it stick in the food and become a health hazard, due to which there is a possibility of acidity, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s diseases.

Use only one oil at a time

Use only one oil at a time. If the original color of the oil has changed then throw it away. Do not use olive oil for deep frying. Do not use cheap oil which heats up quickly, in which foam starts forming as soon as it is kept on the flame. These are adulterated oils, which are harmful to the body.
