    Dear ILs,
    We tend to reheat cooking oil when we fry appalams,vadas, pakodis etc....
    I came across a study report which says...a toxin called HNE is formed when cooking oils are reheated.
    This HNE is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, stroke, Parkinson'?s disease,Alzhemier's disease, Huntington's disease, various liver disorders, and cancer.
    Also,this HNE reacts with DNA, RNA and proteins affecting basic cellular processes of our body.....
    I feel it is better to avoid deep fried food from restaurants and fast food joints....shakehead

    In the first use also should see that it don't smoke. Its best to cook or fry in medium flame. After the first use, can use it for tempering purposes but without letting it smoke.

    Hi,
    i have already insisted about the same thing somewhere in my posts in this forum earlier.
    And I never reuse the oil when I make some deep fried items like vada and bajji.
    Because of the wastage of oil, i most of the times even avoid making deep fried foods in my home except for some special occasions.
    And we always avoid buying deep fried foods from the shops for this particular reason.We don't even buy sweets from the shops even when we were in india before.

    I think everyone should be aware of this and try to control their temptation.
    And now a days we are used to this habit.
