Ok, it is not a mere scientific statement, yet! It is only my claim, but don't you agree.
Scientists say that using cooking oil for deep frying more than once is not good. I wonder what would they say for using it for 1000+ times. Seriously, most of the Falafel restaurants keep adding oil to the old oil whenever its level gets below a certain point, so basically, we are consuming the same oil that has been used before a week or a month, and that has been exposed to repetive heating (+200degrees) and cooling and is full of deposits.
A recent study found that a toxin called 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (HNE) forms when such oils as canola, corn, soybean and sunflower oils are reheated. Consumption of foods containing HNE from cooking oils has been associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, stroke, Parkinson'?s disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, various liver disorders, and cancer. Once absorbed in the body, HNE reacts with DNA, RNA and proteins affecting basic cellular processes.
I believe that falafel, because of the oil being fried in, is very unhealthy.
However, A disturbing new study finds that studies are disturbing
