RE USING " FRIED OIL" ?? Is this a good choice 🤔🤔

FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) guidelines say the re-heating of oils should be avoided and in case you have to reuse oil, a maximum of three times is permitted to avoid formation of trans-fat( harmful fats that increase the risk of heart disease). Each time oil is heated, reactions such as hydrolysis, oxidation and polymerization occur which change and modify the chemical composition of the used frying oil, releasing free fatty acids, and radicals and other toxic substances. These are grouped under Total Polar Compounds(TPC), a reliable benchmark for measuring degradation of cooking oil - vegetable oils with TPC above 25% are considered unsuitable for human consumption. The toxicity of these compounds formed after repeated frying may cause inflammation, lipid deposition, oxidative stress, hypertension, atherosclerosis, etc. So, instead of helping you save money ...this practice may cost you your health !!
