Article Synopsis
- Repeated heating of cooking oils, particularly sunflower oil, generates harmful substances called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that can cause cancer.
- A study conducted on Wistar rats showed that consuming food cooked in oils heated multiple times resulted in significant DNA damage and increased genetic abnormalities in their blood and bone marrow.
- The findings suggest that dietary habits involving the use of repeatedly heated oils can lead to serious long-term health risks due to the genotoxic effects of PAHs and the free radicals they create.
