Olive oil has antioxidants, healthy fats, anti-inflammatory properties and the ability to fight diabetes along with heart disease. However, sometimes it can also be dangerous.
Olive Oil: Olive oil is considered very healthy. It is considered a panacea for heart diseases. Nowadays mustard oil or refined oil is being used in every household. It has been told in many research that excessive consumption of oil can cause high cholesterol, triglyceride, fatty acid and obesity. That's why experts recommend using olive oil instead of these oils. But now a research has revealed that excessive use of olive oil can cause dangerous diseases like cancer. Let's know what the research says...
Why is olive oil dangerous
Actually, olive oil was used more in western countries. In these countries, most of the things are made by baking, roasting, boiling, steaming and sauteing, so there is no need to heat the oil too much, but the situation in India is different. There is a different way of cooking here. Oil is cooked very hot for things like tempering, frying pakoras. Since the smoke point of olive oil is much lower than that of mustard oil, coconut oil or ghee. Because of this it heats up quickly and emits smoke.
Olive oil can cause cancer risk
In a research by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, it has been found that when the oil is heated several times or heated beyond the smoke point, its fat starts breaking down. Due to this, dangerous element causing cancer starts to be produced in the oil.
What should not be cooked in olive oil
Olive oil should never be used in foods like sprinkling lentils, frying bhature, making pakoras, frying puris, samosas, french fries and chicken fry. Use of olive oil in these things can be dangerous and harmful.
