Fried Food Is Bad For Your Health

People addicted to fried foods may need to change their diet because of the damages it causes the body. While it may be pretty much difficult to correct the addiction, experts say the dangers are better avoided than to rely on drugs when the body develops problem.

Research consistently shows that fried fats cause cancer and hardening of arteries. When foods are fried, they are burnt. The chemistry of oil changes considerably when oil is fried into smoke. The chemically changed molecules do not fit precisely into the biochemical architecture of our body. The chemically changed molecules interfere with how the cells function, which we experience as health problems. Nature never contained fried food, so the body never needed to develop means for metabolizing scorched molecules.
Cancer and hardened arteries are the result of failure - the body's inability to deal with these altered molecules.
Research has shown that cooks who spend time with frying pans have higher incidence of lung cancer, also the oils best for our health are those rich in the essential fatty acids which becomes toxic when fried. Frying temperatures also damage hard, stable, saturated fats and butter.
If health is what we want, water is the only oil appropriate for frying. We are back to steaming our foods.
The refining and deodorizing of oils produces colorless, odorless, tasteless and almost nutrition-less oils. Apart from a few, the oils that line supermarkets shelves have gone through processing where they are treated by harsh processes. While processing, some of the fatty acid molecules are changed chemically into toxic molecules that interfere with normal biochemical interactions between molecules necessary for normal cell function, thus interfering with health. Some of the fatty acid molecules are destroyed in the process.
We can only speculate with the concern on the damage to future generations what fried oils may cause, and on the possible involvement on the mutations that lead to the new and incurable genetic conditions that are being discovered more and more in children.
