According to nutritionist Alexandra Razarenova, using oil for frying that is poorly adapted to high heat is dangerous for health.

Free radicals, in turn, contribute to persistent inflammation in the body and can act as carcinogens in the human body.

The doctor added that oils with a high smoke point are optimal for frying – those that begin to smoke only at very high temperatures. temperatures.

“Refined oils or saturated fats of animal origin are better suited, as they are highly resistant to heat,” the nutritionist clarified.
