The harm of cooking with olive oil What are the side effects of cooking with olive oil

Olive oil is extracted directly from olive fruits by physical pressing. The nutrients in the olive oil produced in this way are not destroyed and it has good nutritional value. In China, olive oil has always been considered an ideal material for beauty and cooking. Many families use olive oil for cooking, but olive oil has great side effects. It is recommended not to use olive oil for cooking frequently.

The dangers of cooking with olive oil

1. It will produce a lot of toxic substances

Unlike other cooking oils, olive oil has a very low boiling point. When we cook, we need to stir-fry at high temperatures to make the dishes fragrant. However, olive oil may start to smoke before reaching this temperature. Compared with other cooking oils, cooking with olive oil produces more fumes, which usually contain toxic substances such as acrolein, benzene, and formaldehyde, and may even cause cancer in severe cases.

2. Not conducive to digestion and absorption

One of the hazards of cooking with olive oil is that it will produce trans fatty acids. Through repeated heating at high temperatures, it is easy to form trans fatty acids that are harmful to the human body. Once this kind of thing enters the human body, it is difficult to digest and absorb. After a long period of accumulation, it will cause harm to the human body.

What are the side effects of cooking with olive oil?

1. You may gain weight

Although olive oil is a natural nutrient, it contains a lot of fat. Frequent cooking with olive oil can lead to obesity. I believe most of my friends don’t want to see this situation, because it not only affects our body shape, but also harms our health.

2. Not conducive to the absorption of nutrients

Olive oil contains nutrients such as oleic acid and various vitamins, and has natural health and beauty effects. However, when cooking, most of the nutrients will evaporate after high-temperature frying. The side effect of cooking with olive oil is that the original nutrients are volatilized and destroyed, so we can't absorb the original nutrients at all.
