OILS TO AVOID: THE MORE YOU USE, THE MORE ILLNESSES YOU ATTRACT

Using these oils to avoid is akin to loading toxins into your body. Over time, accumulated toxins weaken your health and may even cause cancer.

According to a survey conducted by the World Health Organization and 13 countries, one-third of diabetic patients have cardiovascular symptoms. Frequent consumption of lard can lead to elevated blood lipids, increasing the risk of plaque formation and atherosclerosis. People with unstable or existing cardiovascular symptoms should not consume lard regularly.

In reality, there are always conflicting opinions about the impact of lard on cardiovascular health. Upon analyzing its composition, scientists found that lard contains 41% saturated fat, 47.5% monounsaturated fatty acids, and 11.5% polyunsaturated fatty acids. Lard is high in calories and low in minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients, hence it is advised to consume it in moderation.

However, a study published in the journal "Current Problems in Cardiology" researched 15,242 individuals over 65 years old. They found that those who cooked with vegetable oil had a higher risk of coronary heart disease and stroke than those who cooked with animal fat. Therefore, they concluded that consuming lard may be more beneficial for the health of the elderly.

In fact, this study did not compare the initial health status of the participants. They also did not provide the sequence of oil consumption and the occurrence of cardiovascular events. Furthermore, the study was conducted on individuals over 65, making it difficult to generalize to all age groups. The study also did not specify the amount of oil and fat used by the two groups, making the conclusion somewhat hasty.

It can be said that while lard is delicious, it should not be consumed regularly as it easily increases blood lipids, accelerating plaque formation and atherosclerosis. Notably, there are three types of oils to avoid, as their continued use increases the risk of illness.

1. Homemade oil. Homemade oil from small workshops poses a potential cancer risk due to excessively high levels of aflatoxin and poor hygiene conditions. Due to rudimentary production technology, homemade oil also contains many impurities, including harmful substances.
2. Repeatedly fried oil. Repeatedly fried oil can generate carcinogens such as heterocyclic amines and benzopyrene. Consuming these substances increases the risk of cancer. Moreover, using repeatedly fried oil produces a large amount of trans fatty acids, which increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease.
3. Oil opened for more than 3 months. Oil opened for more than 3 months increases the risk of mold contamination. Consuming it poses a risk of diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and sometimes life-threatening conditions.
