Health?

From reading this article you would never get the impression that fried food is awful for you. Oversight? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.80.51.102 (talk) 01:11, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Phillip J. Fry

Is there a reason why Phillip J. Fry of Futurama should be filed under frying? Some reference from Futurama I'm missing? Because it seems awfully odd to me. Stormie 03:58, Apr 1, 2004 (UTC)

Oil or Fat

This is confusing, as all oils are fats. Not all fats are oils, however. - MSTCrow 22:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

frying fragile fats destroys them

I'm surprised there's no discussion here on this topic. No wait, I'm not surprised. olive oil is sensitive to heat and sunlight, being very fragile and breaks down when heated. frying in general is bad for health, right? 206.248.128.31 (talk) 03:23, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes. I've heard this too. It would be fantastic if a editor could expand this article to include the health risks.--76.105.158.12 (talk) 12:42, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

No, not necessary unhealthy. If frying is done correctly there is little to no uptake of fat by the cooked food.

In this case, the only health risk then might be from acrylamides, which are also formed in baking. --Belg4mit (talk) 03:27, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
